I have had incidents in my yard already...so creepy. I was out talking with the landscapers one day in the front yard and there was a water moccasin in my front garden.

Then, a bit later, Cookie found a huge black snake (about 3 feet) in the pots on my patio. I nearly had a stroke. I was screaming so loud trying to get her away from it....she chased it across the yard and cornered it by the fence...that I was thinking later someone might have thought I was being killed. Thankfully, I got her and Kiche away from it. Then, right after than, my neighbor's pool guy found a copperhead in the pool. I am so worried now when I go outside with them. Someone told me moth balls prevent, but I have read that is not true. Guess I just have to be on the alert. Creepy creepy. I took pics, but will spare all of you.
