It lives in cultivated districts, aud although harmless and entirely 

 innocent, there seems to be much superstitious fear and many 

 ridiculous stories concerning it. The name ''House Snake" is given 

 to it because it may be found about the abode of man, which it at 

 times enters. This is mostly caused by cold weather of fall or 

 the lower outside temperature of evening or night cause it to seek 

 a place where the atmosphere is warmer, and thus it may enter 

 the dwelling, but no harm can come from its presence. Most ridic- 

 ulous stories have been told concerning its milking cows, and it 

 should be enough to say that this is entirely impossible and such 

 stories are without foundation. It is often seen in or near milk 

 houses, and is reported as drinking milk from pans. This may be 

 true, because it is known that many snakes feed upon milk and 

 eggs when they have the opportunity.
