A few days ago I was going around the stone walls of my basement filling in holes with the aerosol foam. I was concentrating on the part above grade to two feet below. I noticed along the wall on the floor in the dirt and pebbles that has fallen onto the floor from the walls over the last ten years, a kind of little runway about three inches wide. I also noticed that there are a lot of holes into dirt pulled out of the wall. Below the level of approx. four feet there is no mortar in the wall, it is a dry wall. In many places you can see a foot or so into the wall above and beside some of the larger stones. Down near the floor where the previously mentioned holes go in there is fine dirt that must have been pulled from the ground beyond the wall. It would seem that there should be little mouse tracks in the fine sand covering the concrete but I don't see any tracks. I am wondering if it could be snakes living in the wall. A year and a half ago early on a cold winter's morning I found a small snake, numb with the cold on the floor of my office, but have not seen one since. Has anyone seen anything like this?
