Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Wildlife Management Snakes Already!!!

My landscaper found a six foot rat snake in my flowerbed. I called a local snake guy and he said the same thing wbuffetjr. He said "leave them alone....they are all over residences in Dallas/Fort Worth but mostly people don't see them". Needless to say when I go out at night and climb thru some flowerbed bushes to turn my water hose on I now make some noise and have a flashlight. I know they aren't poisonous, but if one of them had bit me at night I would have had to change my Depends!
