Thanks lemon!! Was out seeing what needs done in my flower beds till I saw a big black snake. Ron said don't worry there not poisonous . This can still bite and they like eggs. Dogs went after it hope they run it off. I'm with prim on this one I don't do snakes!
Sprinkle moth balls around the edge of your yard. It WILL keep them outl Same for chicken run. Hang a knee high panty hose filled with them around the coop outside and it will keep them away also..
