Yep. They really are an asset. Just gotta learn to live with them. They are good guys, not bad guys.

Snakes are good - they keep out the rodents.

BTW, we have used solar powered ultrasonic snake repellent stakes. They seem to work well for us.

But why, though? Are you really that afraid of snakes?

OK, poisonous snake are a different story. I would kill a copperhead snake if I saw one in my yard.

I wouldn't, but I'm weird that way. But this is a water snake.

Venomous. Poisonous means you can’t eat them. The more you know…

Good point. I couldn't say whether or not a copperhead is poisonous. Seems like it probably wouldn't be.

A quick search says garter snakes cannot be eaten because they store toxins in

I caught a lot of garter snakes as a kid, but it never occurred to me to eat one. Good thing, I guess.

Nature has an odd tendency to be in nature when you move closer to nature. Just

We moved to a rural area of Texas, Gunter, Tx. It's about 30 minutes north of Mckinney/Frisco

Hike along any creek or river and you’ll see them pretty much every time you go.
