me too! There are all kinds of snakes on my parent's property. They have a pond behind their house and my dad normally kills several poisonous snakes around there every summer.
You know though...both times I've come in close contact with a snake has been here at my townhouse complex!! A few summers ago I had been out running errands with Lacy and parked under my covered parking space...there is a small patch of grass right next to where I park with a couple small trees so I let Lacy go over there to potty before we headed inside. I saw something move and pulled her back. It was a copperhead all coiled up!

I had to get some men in the office to kill it..it was like 4 feet long!! And then a couple months ago I was letting Rylie and Lacy potty and there was a tiny snake on the side walk. It was cold outside too...it was dark so I don't know what kind of snake it was but that just really freaks me out. There is a big park right across the street from where I live though so I'm sure there are all kinds of animals that come out from over there.
I am terrified of spiders and scorpions too
We've been having an epidemic of rabid skunks around town too.. so I try to stear clear of all wildlife
