From 2008: Snake in the Contemporary Resort Room - Updated 10/23 snake nest

[flyingcat2003]

We were in the Garden Wing last month. I can totally see this happening! Check out the view we had.......

Wow, I love this view!I will post the room number as soon as i find out.

Okay, I have officially decided to never stay in a first floor room again. EEK!

Please someone tell me what room they were in... hopefully the 1 st floor

Officially freaked out here too. I will never again stay in a 1st floor room. Please tell me that was a first floor room. Not the tower.

If I were to pick a room at the CR to stay in it would be that room since it was just recently de-snaked.

While it wouldn't be my first choice, snakes in a room, I could take. I have yet to encounter one where I could run away from it. Now put me in an MRI . . .

I can't say the exact room number for the view in DLBDS' post but it is quite similar to the one I had in room 6108. 6108 is the room on the corner of the garden wing overlooking bay lake and the canal to seven seas lagoon. The ferries, friendship boats and personal water craft pass through it constantly. This view looks to be a few rooms up toward the monorail line.

While it was a ground floor room, 6108 had no snakes in it, as far as I saw, and I would have seen them because DD freaks majorly at any non-mammalian wildlife smaller than a cat.

This might sound odd but I'd rather have a snake in my room than roaches or palmetto bugs.

it's Florida. I expect strange things like this to happen. I'm surprised we've never had lizards with all the little guys I see running around there. Overall not a big deal, really.


I only hope they were safely moved elsewhere and the eggs weren't lost, but that's probably not the case once they're touched by human hands, right?

Yeah, I wondered the same thing being the big animal lover. I worked for vets for over 12 years and we did reptiles, but I've never dealt with snake eggs, but believe that they stay with their nest (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). We did lots of turtles at the clinic, and our doctor (who used to be the doc for the local wildlife rescue), would bring the turtles in, have them lay their eggs (because usually they would go to lay them off of a really busy road), keep the eggs in soil in a tupperware container (this is sort of the way they are anyway in the wild........the females lays them in dirt and buries them), released the female, and then once the eggs hatched he would release them at the state park where hopefully they could live a safe, long life. We saw all sorts of turtles..........box, snapping, sliders, etc.......

FYI.........if you ever do see a turtle crossing the road and choose to help it, please always take it to the side that it's going to already. Chances are that it's going to lay eggs (or is coming back from doing so), and if you turn it around it will just go right back.

I wonder if maybe they were moved to Animal Kingdom?

That is truly a fabulous view. I would have loved to wake up to that. The snake part however, Not So Much!!

Talked to mother -in -law this morning. She is a co-worker to the family staying in the room. She said they don't recall the room number but it was on the second floor. I guess the snake took the elevator.

It probably crawled through the air conditioning ductwork. 2nd floor, I guess that is in the wing.

Well, there goes my theory of being safe on the upper floor @$#&#(&&#)*!

Now I've got the Heebie-Jeebies.

That's surprising to read it went to the 2nd floor.

 

[TammyLynn33]

Im completely spooked..How many famillies cohabitated with the snake without knowing. I would have had a heart attack..Im picturing shower scenes, toilet scenes...uggghh

A nicer prettier room would not calm me valium o0n the other hand..

Xanax will be my traveling partner

If you look at at the photo, the snake is ON TOP OF THE CURTAIN ROD!!! I can't figure out how it got up the curtain. DH said some snakes can crawl up walls...there's an image!
