It seems as though yesterday my neighbor who I share the fence with just saw "the biggest black snake she's ever seen in her life!". Great
She was babysitting at the time, so there was nothing she could have done. I have yet to know what happened to the snake. They have so much junk in their backyard that I bet they are just homing snakes. Hopefully my Snake Away around the perimeter of my house will help. I'm thinking it's a Black Racer Snake. I really don't know though.
