You stated the thought of snakes made you panic. There is a slight possibility you will see a snake here in Florida. You asked if you should re-think. I merely answered. I don't know of any state that doesn't have snakes besides Alaska.

No matter what kind of a house you buy here, there will always a a slight possibility of having a snake in the garage or lanai. You will have a gecko from time to time for sure.

I have a designer home. I have had a couple of small snakes in the garage but no panic.

Just realize the snake is more terrified of you than you of it. Chances are almost certain you will not see a venomous snake - but also is a possibility.

Buggyone: You wannta bet but I am only afraid of four kind: big little alive dead:wave:

Hawaii is also snake free (except for a few in the Zoo).

:agree:

Get on with it
 

Put you big girl/boy panties on and get on down here!

That made me chuckle :).

Some people are terrified of snakes. It is not funny to them. To have a snake in your home would be very disconcerting.

In the past, I have used stickboards in and around the garage. Put them by the door and on the side by the walls....that is where they will go if they get in.

Use the Snake Away...it works and is not as strong as moth balls.

Understand it is mating season for the Black Runners. They are active at the moment.

And most of all have a back up plan if you encounter a snake...will you use a broom...or a shovel to kill it (make sure it is a flat edge)...or call the police...they will come and assist. Also, if you do corner a snake use your big garbage can to scoot it into it then put the lid on...or just put it on it and wait for help.

Most people here in TV never encounter a snake....but those that do always have a story about them.

And most of all keep your lanai door closed, garage door closed and your front door closed.

Opps!
 

Boy Panties? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wow ! :censored: Isn't that suppose to be put on your Man Pants. If a guy puts on his Man Panties that gets into another whole discusssion.

The PC Police :police: Will be soon alerted! :22yikes:

Ah....I thought it was cute. I always hear people say put on your big girl panties so I thought I'd just include the guys in that statement. I should have said "men, put on your tool belt and get down here" and " ladies, put on your big girl panties"......

Boy howdy.

My biggest concern would be a yankees fan making my wardrobe decisions.

I like it and thought it was funny and it made me laugh.:loco:

Didn't say it wasn't funny. Just watched a female teacher get fired for saying something similar!

Yes I'm sensititive! NOT!

Take a class in cooking. A snake can be very tasty with a nice sauce. Be careful to cook on a lower heat so you do not burn the meal. Let it simmer for a while.
