We live in a 26 year old authentic log cabin. This one crawled inside, from between the logs, into my son's room. My husband caught it with a leather glove on his hand, it tried to bite him. These things are very aggressive. I'd rather deal with a snake than one of these. We've since had our cabin re-chinked between the logs, so we will hopefully not have these visitors inside anymore. Of course, we took it out on the land and set it free.
