Anywho, my son stepped over a freakin' huge snake on the front steps thinking it was a stick, came running around the house to get a shovel, anyway he took care of the snake.
Just a few minutes ago I was outside with the dogs and was trying to untangle a muscadine vine that has decided to grow under a shrub. I was almost done getting it out and reached into the bush to get the last piece and guess what the hell I GRABBED? You got it, a damn SNAKE. I HATE snakes. I'm still shaking, its scared the hell out of me.
I think its just a rat snake but STILL!
I've heard that sprinkling mothballs or mothball flakes around the yard will repel them. The only thing is that you have to do it when the ground is dry, and repeat the process every time it rains. I don't know how well that works.
A farmer told me that sulphur powder will penetrate the skin on the undersides of snakes and kill them slowly. You might try that as well. The only thing about sulphur powder is that it is flammable, so you wouldn't want to have it around where anyone might toss down a cigarette. It also smells like rotten eggs when it gets wet, so you wouldn't want to use it around the front door because you'd have the smell drifting into your house when it rained.
Personally, I don't know if either of them really are 100% effective, but I've tried both. We haven't seen a snake in our yard so far this year. I still see them out on the roads though.
I just make sure that the grass is kept cut short so that we can see a snake before it finds us.
I can't stand snakes either!

I am so mean...lol
HAHA sounds like something I would do. When we moved into this house the people that had moved out had left a van out back. Well dh was looking under the hood (no idea what for) and he pointed over toward the back and asked what that was, it was snake skin. I pointed at the front right next to him and said just like this. He dropped that thing and ran! LOL I laughed and laughed. It was just snake skin, wasnt going to bite him. I went over and got the skin and asked him if he wanted to touch it

I used to be okay with snakes, I had a ball python from the time he was a hatchling. When he was about 4 he bit me. He got me between my pinky and ring finger on both sides of my hand. It hurt like hell and scared the pants off me. You have to remove their teeth like sorta backwards cuz of the way they are fanged. After that I was afraid of him, I couldn't pick him up or feed him, so I found him a good home.
When we were moving in this house, my DH & cousin were re-doing the bathroom floor, so they had the whole thing cut out. They got the floor in and the toilet. I kicked them out of the bathroom cuz I had to pee. I was sitting down, pulling down my pants, like all in one motion, my but wasn't on the seat yet... and there was a snake on the new floor. I peed on my pants came running out of the bathroom screaming like a baby. My pants were around my knees. It was just a garter snake, DH caught it and put it outside. But I still get them saying...Remember when you peed your pants? I didn't pee in them, I peed on them since they were half way down. It is funny now, but I was flipping out.

Patch that Albino Burmese Python is beautiful. We saw a baby one not long ago at a pet shop that loved being handled and hubby fell in love. I told him how big it would get and he decided against it but I have always wanted one.

I am not scared of snakes we get them in the house and while hubby is running up the stairs I'm doing the catch and release thing LOL. Last fall we had a baby get in the house the day after Labor day hubby is running and I'm catching, two days later Logan my daughter comes in the living room and said Luna her cat had a snake, she thought it was fake but it wasn't so guess who had to get it......not the big tough man but me LOL.
Logan looked at me and asked if those were the baby's where was the momma? Hubby thought it was a very good question one he put a lot of thought into LMAO.
I live in the country so every now and then we get bats in the house, guess who gets to catch them while they're flying and going crazy? Yep Me again.
No snakes are cool, they eat rats and mice I have a rule here, No killing of snakes.
Two years ago I had a gardner go accross my foot and Hubby and Neighbor took off, It didn't even faze me I think I gained respect in my neighbors eyes.....
My kids this year grabbed a baby black snake went accross the way knocked on the door and when my neighbors wife answered she freaked, she's deathly afraid of snakes.......They just wanted to know what kind it was and they had her trapped in her house over a little itty bitty snake LOL.
No love, no friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever.

I once locked my brother out of the house when he was 10 years old, he and his little buddies found a garter snake and were chasing me with it. I got in trouble and he didn't..LOL Igunanas scare me as well, I don't mind little lizards though...
If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.

galeane29, try some of that Ortho Max in the shiny bag. I started using that in my yard about 2 or 3 years ago, and ever since I don't see snakes everywhere like I use to.
It's in a smaller bag than the rest of the yard dope is, but if you look at the coverage, it actually covers more ground than the big bags. So it's not really anymore expensive than the big bags. Anyway I always have tons of poisonous in my front and back yard. But since I started putting that stuff out I rarely see them anymore around the house like I use to. We have lived at this location for 17 years, and it's so nice now not to have snakes on the porch everytime I turn around. I really do think it's the Ortho Max that is keeping them away. You might want to try it.
