#!^_&_$^(*%@!!! SNAKES!!! I hate snakes!! I was driving in and saw two making whoopie out in the road in front of the house. BIG ones!!! I ran over them but when I went to reverse on them, they were gone. I drove around looking for them and hubby came out to look and we couldn’t find them. Ugh, we’ve already had two - a little one dead in the garden and hubby took care of a big on on the porch a about three weeks ago. FYI, I don’t know what part of TX you’re in but the evening news out of Austin a few days ago had a segment on snakes and said we’d have a lot of them this summer because of the heat last summer (don’t know how that relates but whatever) and they were already getting more reports. Ugh, I just know they and their offspring will be camping out at my front door any day.
Y’all, be careful in the garden.

What KIND of snakes? They can be your garden’s best friend, right up there with frogs & toads.
As long as they aren’t rattlers, copperheads, or moccasins, they are great mouse, vole, and bunny eating machines.
I am not going to panic you, bgill. But, my cousin in law lived in Cumberland and they had snakes (poisonous and not poisonous). Long story short, he ran over one and it wasn’t on the road. Later, he went to check his oil and a poisonous snake was curled up on the engine (somewhere on it where it wasn’t hot). I just wanted to pass this story on. According to him, he felt the tire somehow flipped the snake up and under the car and it made its way to the engine.
I was told by a friend from Louisiana to put anything with sharp points around my patio enterence. Snakes don’t like to slide over sharp things. I have hubby and he takes care of any snakes. Where I come from we don’t have snakes, and the first ones I ever saw were in FL. ICK!
