You can buy snake repellent at Tractor Supply, Home Depot, and similar type stores. I'm not sure if it works or not, though. I am so very sorry you are traumatized about the snake. For your peace of mind, I hope he leaves and doesn't return.
I was raised in Florida and there was a cyprus swamp behind my back yard. We also had lots of snakes, both venemous and harmless. I was taught from the time I was a little bity thing to respect snakes, how to distinguish between the bad (venemous) and the good (non venemous). It was FORBIDDEN to kill a non-venemous snake especially King Snakes. I remember we had a huge king snake that lived under my playhouse for years and would sun on our garage steps. I can never remember seeing a venemous snake in our back yard. I grew up with a great respect for snakes and now, as an adult we try to keep a black snake in our horse barn to help take care of rodents. Unfortunately the hawks have just about depleted our snake population. |
Your parents raised you well! Snakes are here for a reason but I would probably have the same reaction as everyone, SCARED. One morning Lola brought a baby snake in my house. I was shocked but picked it up with a stick and let it go outside.
