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.
We saw a 3-4' snake pop out from under the air conditioner a few months back...

The Boss yelled, "KILL IT!"

I responded, "With what"?
