I don't think they are pets, but interesting critters anyway.
When we lived in Kansas, and ESPECIALLY when we lived on Okinawa, poisonous snakes could be anywhere , including where we snorkeled, very poisonous sea snakes. It's about being careful, and NEVER putting a body part where there's not...
I think snakes are beautiful, and am very careful to know ahead of time who each one is, where ever I happen to be. Poisonous snakes get a wide berth!

A nice little guy, too bad.
It's hard to avoid every little critter when mowing tall plants. We hit some smaller snake while mowing an overgrown paddock last week. The chickens found it, and I didn't have the heart to go and ID it.
