Steve, just this week, we had a snake in one of the window wells with an elongated froglike shape about 6" past its head. We watched it, wondering if it could get out or would try to get into the house some way. Finally, we were amazed to see the snake push itself up over the window well to escape. It wasn't a very big snake and only about 5-6" of the tail (?) supported the whole body until it managed to get enough of itself over the edge to pull itself out. It wasted no time in escaping at that point which was fine with me.

To think I checked this post thinking it might have a good recipe!! No thank you!! Snakes are really amazign, not my favorite mind you. I guess that's one reason why, many of them eat frogs and toads.

What did you do with the snake?
