how many snakes have you seen this summer?

[debilorrah]

None. I live in the Mojave Desert home of the Pacific Diamondback, and I have not seen one.

Well, early in the season, I found a nest of baby black snakes. and then a couple of weeks ago, I went to feed the chickens, I opened the door to the shop where their food is, I stepped inside, got a cup of food, turned around to one of my rir flying in my face to get the food, I stepped back a step and looked down, and directly next to my flip flopped foot, was a 3 ft long copper head. Too close of a call for me... Moral of the story, always wear boots in the backyard.

NOT A ONE!!! YAY!! I have to say I'm quite surprised too 'cause if you saw where I live, you'd be surprised! I saw more snakes in the city where I lived in NY than here and I'm surrounded by woods. And I live INSIDE 35 acres of woods.

I know they're out there. I just haven't seen them!! LOL (Nor do I want to!)

Quite a few!
Garter snakes all the time, a black racer once, and we have a huge female gray rat snake that I see about once a week around the house. I love her!
Earlier this summer, DBF was digging a trench and unearthed some snake eggs. The venomous guys around here are all live-bearers, so we know they're friendly. I moved the whole clutch to a flowerpot on the porch, and based on candling, they are due to hatch any day now!
I know I'm in the minority here, but I love snakes! I will kill the venomous guys if they're near the house, but the others are friends

do ones in petstores count lol, if so I have seen lots

( mom's friend owns a petstore), but I haven't seen any wild ones yet. Usually see some garter snakes, but I think the neighborhood cats got them.

One Black snake and one dead snake. If I had my way, both would be dead. Hate em, scared to death of them and want nothing to do with them!

!2 Gardeners in a metal roofing pile while I was moving it.

After that I lost count.

Lots?

There is one that hangs out around the hose and the shed. I know it isn't dangerous snake- it just likes to startle me when I am getting the birds water.

Then there is this one.. I am guessing it is (was) a back snake or rat snake. IN the coop.. IN the nestbox. NOT cool!!
