I had a pool at my home in Pensacola a few years ago and in the area you won't find birdcages. Wood privacy fence is very popular. One day I pulled the lid off the skimmer to check for debris, curled up inside was a 3' Water Mocassin. I jumped back very quickly and realized I should never stick my finger in the skimmer cover hole ever again. The only other problem was once during a hurricane I must of had over 100 pine cones in the bottom of the pool. Took me all day to lift them out from the 8' bottom using a pool net, they get very heavy. Another time I found a squirrel in my pool, it was winter and he was frozen solid.
