Snake Detector

If you live in an area where snakes are common, you may need this helpful advice one day.

Suppose a snake enters your home, and you are unable to pinpoint its exact location.  Maybe you are not even sure in which room it is seeking a safe refuge.  You turn the house "upside down" looking for the intruder, but alas no luck in determining the hiding place.

Use a "trail" of flour to mark off all the doors and all the rooms.  Allow the house to become very quiet.  If the snake changes its location, leaves a room, you should be able to determine its movement by the disruption of the flour pattern.

You do not have to create a pattern as elaborate as the one pictured above, nor do you have to use organically produced whole wheat flour!

 I hope it works!
