Now I know yorkies are much smaller and I myself have 2 yorkies (one teapot and one small), so I don't want to take any chance on a snake bite.

Just telling you what I have heard and been told. Again not positive about it.

Also to keep snakes away. You may try putting moth balls on the perimeter
0f your yard.

The lady that lives down the road from me took her Yorkie to the park to play & it was bitten by a snake & died.
