I have only seen 2 snakes by the house so far; a black racer full grown 5 feet long, within inches of the lanai in the 3 years I’ve been here. I immediately went to Home Depot and bought a strong Toro blower. Toro can blow my husband away when used at full blast… lol. My neighbor just laughed, he said he has accidentally stepped on one of these snakes and it was not a problem. Well, good thing the blower is good on leaves too.

The second snake was the size of a long worm. I was pretty sure it was a worm, but hubby got the magnifying glass and it WAS a little snake. Now I have a very powerful “snake” blower taking up garage space. We got a little anole running in once, but we used a much gentler blower to help him find his way out.
