I tend to leave the snakes alone unless they come inside (they take their
chances then) I did try to get one with the hoe, it chased my aunt around
the back porch It is a good idea to learn what the poisonous ones look
like though

I like to see toads, frogs and lizards around my house, it generally means
there are no snakes around

Aaghh - nobody told me about the snakes. We have a creek near our house
too, but hopefully far enough away that the little slimy critters won't
come this far. Actually, we have woods right opposite our house and I bet
there's a wealth of yuck right there. We do have some cute podgy grey and
red squirrels that use our garden as a playground. So much fun to watch
them, especially when they fall and hit the ground running.
