It's not dangerous unless it's a water snake which I doubt. Water snakes
have teeth and can bite but nonpoisonous of course.

The only poisonous snakes we have here are copperheads and rattlers. See a
fair amount copperheads but in 25 years the only rattler I ever saw was a
dead one in the middle of the road.

Oh yes, I know it was neither a copperhead or rattlesnake. But I don't like
snakes of any kind so it can move along, if I can convince it to do so. I
do not like to kill snakes that are harmlous to people.

Just saw a snake grab a frog. I jiggled the rock it was hiding under
and
I
guess shook the snake up because the frog. which was nabbed by the
foot,
got away. There is a gray portion near its foot and another on its body
that looks like it is where the snake also had its mouth. Didn't see
any
broken skin. Although, come to think of it, there was some red around
the 29/7/04
place on the body when the frog swam away.

Think it was a garter snake. If I am remembering right it was a fairly
bright green with yellow stripes the length of its body. The top of its
head was also green.

It all happened so fast that I am not positive.

How can I get rid of it without tearing all the rocks out. Does anyone
know?

you could try catching it and sending it to Jonny (see post dated 29/7/04
How to rid of tedpoles)

other than that, why remove it (assuming your right, it is a garter)
they
only eat a very small diet, are good for the garden and look damn
pretty...

if its something that is dangerous id maybe have different advice...

what is it with humans moving into animals area's then wanting the animals
to move out??
