Knock on wood, I haven't seen any snakes.....yet. Oh I know I'm not fooling myself. They are all over. We have rat snakes, black snakes, timber rattlers, cotton mouths, copper heads and garter snakes. Just to name a few. Usually we just see the garters and cast off skins in the field when the bigger snakes molt. There are water snakes in the ponds but so far, the only time I've seen a snake near the birds is when one of my young buff Orpingtons feasted on a little garter snake that had the bad judgement to go in their run.

We just came in. DH was using the Mahindra to shove dirt into the lagoon. Surprising how good of a job it does. Gotta commend my husband's determination and courage. Makes me sweat and chew nails just watching him at work.

Take care @CSolis. Don't overdo.

I have never seen a snake here either, but we are pretty far into town LOL!

I saw them all the time growing up in the Country though.

Hey Cap! How ya feeling dear lady?

Same old list of issues, plus my joint fluid keeps leaking into my knee tissues. Plus it has been record hot here. 97.5° the other day, today only 88.5° so far. In May. Absurd.
