Yeah, we have lizards too, and this is the first snake I have seen - they don't make themselves visible very often, and thank goodness our house is on a slab - no crawlspace. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, steve.sundur@... wrote : That cool Jim. Just glad she happened to see him.

If you live in a rural setting, you might consider some critters that don't like snakes. In Texas, many people used to keep guinea fowl. They hate snakes and will kill them on site. Pea fowl will do the same. It's just a matter of whether you would rather put up with their *mess* or the snakes.
