In the past few days, I've seen a lot of snakes. Every trip around the pond turns up one or two, mostly brown water snakes. I saw a beautiful yellow and black snake that then went under the house while I was mowing, about a 3-4 footer. "Go get some mice!" I hollered after him. When I go working in the attic, I usually find a skin or two. Also quite a few in the crawl space. Too bad they don't eat skunks, maybe I should put a python under there. The other night the dog was raising hell at the back sliding door. Looked out and here was a 4 foot bull snake climbing the brick wall of the house, headed up to the attic. Very cool to see. But I agree with Jeff, they are welcome until I see something poisonous, then they get terminated with extreme predjudice!
