Food: Mice, rats, lizards, or insects. If you have a pest problem, you may have a snake problem.
Temperature: Cool spaces in summer, warm spots in winter.
Shelter: Small openings, cracks, or gaps that provide safe hiding spots.

From across the room, try to observe:
Color and pattern
Head shape (triangular vs. rounded)
Size
Body thickness
