You will find water moccasins infrequently - LEAVE THEM ALONE!

You will also find Pygmy Rattlesnakes in the tall grasses. They are capable of biting and producing a very nasty and very painful wound that takes a long time to heal. LEAVE THEM ALONE!

Do not kill any snake. Best idea with ANY snake is to leave it alone - unless it is in your house or garage.

There are definitely snakes in our lawns, harmless,or not, to me a snake is a snake......I don't like any of them. I have had 4 snakes in my lawn, and 1 in my garage. I am very cautious walking thru my grass and I keep my garage door down as much as possible.....just an FYI

Read the title and thought it might be the Rock Python that's migrating it's way north from everglades. Glad to here it's not>
