Re the snake, I would have called community watch if I were bothered, but I think feeling powerless and doing nothing is a poor choice. So exactly what the OP did...
I know in Marion County as well as in many other cities and counties the Sheriff's Department has two phone numbers. One is for an actual REAL emergency(911)..which the snake is not, and another number for non-emergent issues. I don't know about Sumter, but to call 911 for a snake that you don't like is tying up a 911 line for a REAL emergency.
