I have felt a bit left out all these years never having found any previously live animals, rodents, or reptiles inside electrical equipment. No longer for today I came across my very first "Ghost in the Machine".

Who is able to give me the secret handshake and where do I go to pick up my membership card?

Congratulation! and I would think that a snake is the crown jewl of animals to find in a panel.

Looks like this one committed suicide by biting the bus bar after seeing the neutral and ground wire under the same screw.:)

The question is how far did you jump when you seem him hanging there?

What do you figure, 120 or 240? :)

That wouldn't have happened if the panel had been in the bathroom. :D

All kinds of things going on in that panel, snake, I-T-E breakers in a GE panel (an improvement but still not kosher), a white conductor that needs to be reidentified, neutral & ECG under one screw........
