Snake sex in the petunia's....Thats a first for me!
I would've been frozen in terror even if they are harmless.

Honestly, I don't think about a snake biting the yorkies.. I guess it could happen but the way they rip and tear through the yard, the snake would have a hard time catching them! Ha!

They don't go down by the stream. I really can't imagine them being curious enough to mess with a snake. Usually when we happen to come upon a snake it is pretty quick to retreat back wherever it came from so no, I guess I really don't worry...maybe I should...hmmm.

I hadn't thought about the black snakes killing off the venomous ones...I remember when we first moved here we did kill a black snake. (not knowing any better) but since then we just let them be. Ty was looking out the window the one day and happened to see the tail of one (second floor) it was going into the walls..( sorry, that was for all the squeamish readers) under the siding. As long as I dont see them inside my house. I am ok with them living in the walls or in the basement. Once one comes inside... its on!

I was wondering this too! I mean if they are big enough and your yorkie is small enough....yorkie could be a happy meal!

Omg! I just gasped while reading that. My son is sitting behind me and he's saying what, did someone get hit by a car?! lol!! Your such a brave soul! I don't even like mice in my walls but then again that could be why a snake would be there. Following the mice.

Your husband is my hero as well, but for a different reason. I am very proud of him for being a snake bouncer and tossing them over the wall rather than killing them. We try to keep a snake in our barn to help the barn cats with rodent patrol.

Snakes are a link in the food chain, the link that eats rodents.
They are ok in my book.
