Ok, Ok now my heart rate is up and I need another coffee. What is it with posting snakes lately? I'm terrified of them! : )

Ssssssssssshhhhhh!!!
Heh! Only teasing. Consider snakes your friend for all the good they do. Their diet consists mainly of insects and rodents. Also, they are afraid of us and try to avoid us if at all possible. If you have to walk through an area where you might encounter one, carry a walking cane or stick. Just bump it along in front of where you walk. The vibrations alert the snake to your presence and gives it a chance to move away. The cane or stick is handy for stepping across fallen logs too. Rap the log sharply and poke the cane/stick around underneath the log before you step over it. Use a little caution and more than likely you will never see one.
