In Avot it says, "Mishna (Avot 5, 5) lists 10 miracles that occurred in the Mikdash. One is that never did a snake cause harm in the city of Jerusalem

SUNDAY:  I just pushed a SNAKE off my 3rd floor mirpeset! 

It resembled a Jerusalem Viper snake, about 50 cm. I checked online.

The Iriya said they only come if the snake is still near me. ulgh!

So, now, my question is:

Since we officially entered the "3 weeks" I am not treating this casually.

What might be, if you know, a "spiritual" connection or symbolism to an experience like this?

Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

It resembled somewhat like this, in color, with a diamond shaped head, and with diamond shapes on its length:

I sent an email query to several persons for their responses.

Needless to say, I am quite on alert, hoping NOT to find one of these things hiding somewhere in my home. I don't want to search the place, but am being cautious.

THEN I got to thinking about this whole thing.  What I have suspected, last week there were a group of children playing in the large garden between our bldgs. All sorts of creations. I noticed two girls sweeping and forrageing close to our bldg, dragging out an assortment of old stuff, even a violin and its case, and stuff that looked like hay. They are not there today but all the stuff is still there. Indicating the abandonment of everything.

I got this idea that maybe they came upon and disturbed a nest of snake(s). And one of them being greatly disturbed one climbed up three flights to my mirpeset. On this mirpeset i feed Doves sunflower seeds and set a container of water for the birdies to drink. Maybe that snake wanted water or the birdies? Maybe there were more? Maybe it climbed up the tree that hangs intimately near my mirpeset. And maybe something frightened chv”s the girls, and why they did not return today.

PS the violin and case are still there if anyone wants it.

*********************

Today, Tuesday, I was sent an email message that one of the children was in the hospital bitten by a snake (or something). I am trying to verify this information at present.

Therefore I believe that the snake on my mirpeset was a WARNING that there was something going on. And that is what got me thinking and to my suspicions. I've warned some of our tenants near that garden. Called the VAAD to get them to do something. They called the Iryia and was told "no they don't climb trees" to my questioning. Plus I received replies to my query. 

SO MY QUESTION OF WHY THIS DURING THE THREE WEEKS and is there any connection?

TO BE UPDATED AS I RECEIVE MORE INFORMATION:

*  ​(קהלת י׳:ח׳): וּפֹרֵץ גָּדֵר יִשְׁכֶנּוּ נָחָשׁ

Addenda:

Yes, many snakes are capable of climbing trees. Snakes use their strong, flexible bodies and scales to grip bark and branches, and employ techniques like concertina locomotion to move upwards. They climb for various reasons, including hunting prey, escaping predators, and seeking cooler temperatures. 

Snakes DO CLIMB TREES  (I was told "no" by our Jerusalem Iryia!!)
