I guess he learned his lesson. I don't think he will do it again.

I am wondering what his last thoughts were as he was getting fried? or maybe it was a she?

I saw one panel where the mouse was trying to escape a black snake. They were both fried across the 240 lugs. Believe or not the snake was half out of the panel. It was coming in thru the keyhold screw slots in the back of a panel installed in a 2x6 wall.

Since this thread is in the Safety Forum and a live animal in a panel is a potential hazard I'm reopening it. After looking at the photo's there may be more than just a lizard problem.

Yeah, and to make things more confusing, this service has a high leg...for a residential dwelling! :eek:
It was full of tandem breakers (which I don't have a problem with as long as the panel is not overloaded).
Also, the service was double bonded. Once at the service disconnect and in this panel.

Edit: Another thing, there were 2 SP breakers tied together with a piece of copper wire through the handles to make a 2P breaker.
