My 10 year old grand daughter likes to go in their back yard and catch garter snakes. Then she takes them in the house "Look what I found mom" Mom hates snakes.
:biggrin:

John, I you get a miniature Schnauzer Dog, first of all you get the best friendliest dog that don't shed any hairs, and they are very smart. they were bred form in Germany to take care of rodents and critters around the yards and barns or so, mine catches anything form mice to geckos you name it, he has snuck up on these garter snakes and other snakes around my back yard specially when they started stirring the dirt behind the ditch across form my back yard fence man he had a ball catching all kind of stuff. And, one time I had to get him away trying to get a scorpion in his mouth. not eh black ones like Curtis caught not too long ago, but the sandy colored one. Anyways, one of those guys will keep those critters away and since I live in the city limits i am in same dilemma too. the can't get you in trouble for the dogs in the city limit.

Did the exact thing in my garage only mine was a big black one. Not the first time. I figure if I can keep from hurting myself during our brief encounters he's good to have around to keep the mice down.

Fun, too wasn't it! I know exactly what you mean on hurting yourself,
I about went through the opposite wall.:biggrin:
 
When I grew up I used to play with garter snakes allot. However I can understand someone who's never seen a garter snake getting a little unnerved by it. But it's my understanding (and I admit that this might be a Canadian thing) that 95% of the snakes in North America are harmless. The rattlesnake family is the only one I can think of. Does anybody out there know anything different?

Bruce, that's pretty cool. I had friends who did the same as you, but I'll freely admit..I never went there.:biggrin:
We have copperheads in our vicinity also, and not getting a real good look
at this guy, that's honestly what i thought this was.
I stumbled on a copperhead years ago mushroom hunting and we had a staring match before I crept away.
 
Coral snake, Copperhead, Water Moccasin/ Cotton mouth, are all poisonous N American snakes beside the rattlesnake Family.
