It is possible but the basket is hanging about 5 1/2 -6 feet above the porch floor by a chain and hook from the celing. There is a column a couple of feet nearby but the snake would have a horrible time climbing and reaching over I would think. Also my porch is solid concrete so nowhere for a snake to get under.

This may just have to be one of life's mysteries, a sad one at that.
