I must have lazy snakes. Both species seem pretty docile around here unless cornered. Then again I have noticed a decline in their numbers since I discovered a 4 1/2 foot Speckled Kingsnake. Fortunately, it wasn't a cotton mouth as we didn't notice each other until I looked down and he was trying to get to the pond. About 6 inches from my foot. Scared both of us. LOL
