I have no fear of snakes, but some insect eating
species also eat lizards and toads which is why you may be having a
problem building up your toad population if you have a lot of snakes.

My toads have problems crossing the road and ultimately I find them
dried flat, out on the asphault. They are called Bufo roadensis. By
the time they migrate up to my house they are too big for any snakes I
have.

You have cats. ;-)
Right?

Nope, I had them mostly for my kids and the last one disappeared last
year, probably due to coyotes. So that was my last one. The cat had
claustiphobia and would only come in the house if I forced him, which
I only did when the weather was very bad, which it really has not been
in many years.
