We see a black snake every so often around the outside of our lanai and birdcage. We have 2 cats who do go out to these screened areas and so far no issue. The issue is I am deathly afraid of snakes and it makes me nauseous just to look at them. So by the time I scream and run back in the house to get my husband and he goes out there to shoo it away it is gone. Crisis averted! I also have found a snake skin in the shrub beds and in planters a few times. We live across the street from a retention pond which seems a good distance away. Apparently not! LOL
