Just some little NW garter snakes. We don't tend to have many of the poisonous ones around here.

A few days ago I heard the dogs barking an "unusual" bark, so I looked out the window from the second floor. They were standing around something that appeared to be a coiled up snake. The largest dog was snapping at it. I ran down two flights of stairs as fast as I could, grabbed the bush axe and finished off a water moccasin that they had almost killed already. I was thrilled and amazed that none of them seemed to have been bitten. It has only been a few weeks since one was bitten by a copperhead on the face. It made a nasty wound and his face was quite swollen, but I was able to get some Benadryl down him and he recovered.

Earlier in the summer we killed the largest copperhead we've ever seen in the driveway. We have also killed a very large rattlesnake in the driveway.

When I lived in Florida I saw two different snakes in my house, one of which was a rattlesnake -- I was eating lunch one day and looked over to see him on a table nearby!!!!!

I hate poisonous snakes!

do you all just see them slithering along, or do you find them curled up? or hiding?

most run from me, but i did catch on eating my baby gosling, and then it tried to bite me. Odd.... it was a king snake.

Oh, maybe 7 or 8. Not nearly as many as in past years. Saw a little baby one in the road that I soooo wanted, but fiancee wouldn't stop the car, Lol!

Saw 175 snakes just 2 days ago. Visited my friends house who breeds ball pythons. He showed me his snake room in his basement. I think I will have nightmares for months.

My sister and I found a clan of gardeners.. a total of 28 all in a small area. under some black plastic in our garden where they stayed for the winter. It was quite sickening.

Other than that I've seen quite a few here and there. I love going barefoot but I always worry when I walk certain places. Our property has certain 'hot spots' or areas where the snakes have their holes/dens, I try to avoid those areas.

Like Gaberdeen.. nightmares here too.
