Erm... 'garden' or 'garter' snakes don't occur here in Oz. I would be
*happy* to
swap you snakes, though! I have a Red Bellied Black snake in my garden
(a very
handsome fellow, about five feet long) and I live in fear that he
might bite my
dog and kill her. Are your garden/garter snakes deadly?

The only thing I've done that works is to use the garden hose on
'jet'. That
will move one snake one time. It's not a solution. I'd be glad to hear
of
others, though...
