So far I have NOT seen a snake in my yard or in the neighbor's yards. I do know that they may be around though. I have lived here 7 1/2 years. I do not live close to any water or golf courses or nature areas. They are several blocks away.
I heard of a neighbor cutting pompass grass and pulled out a snake. I sure got rid of my pompass grass after that as it was a pain in the butt and by the electric box so had to be trimmed etc.
I heard of a hawk carrying a snake and dropped it into the Sabal Chase pool. It was dead. The hawk lost its grip. That was in the paper several yrs ago.
The best one - it is funny - is a couple we know. He awoke one morning to go biking and kept the lights off to not disturb his wife. Went out into the garage and put his helmet on and something was not right. He went into the bathroom to look. Apparently a snake had curled up in his bike helmet and parts of it were hanging out from the helmet that was now on his head. LOL! BUT glad it didn't happen to me, but I don't bike either. So in the dark garage, turn those lights on!
Just be aware they are out there.
