Welcome. I'm half a mile south of the bridge myself.

I've been here 2 years next month and have seen one snake. A 5 foot long king snake on my lower deck right outside the door. I didn't get a chance to kill it but probably wouldn't have if I could. King snakes are dominant and keep the other snakes away.

That being said, if I hadn't had someone with me that identified it right away and my pest control guy encouraging me to leave it alone, it would be the best kind of snake right now...dead as a hammer. Even though my lot was very overgrown when I got here and I have been working it pretty constantly, that is the only one I have seen. My son said he saw one in the water but I haven't.

Triangle head is a give away to me, kill it if you safely can. I'm also told having dogs or cats around will help. Snakes don't hang around where there is a cat I'm told.

Again, welcome.

Peace,
<><
