I hate hate hate this thread. I am terrified of SNAKES!!! One of the reason I like to go to the beach and not the lake (many of which are much closer!) is because I think lakes have too many snakes. The fact that this little boy was bitten in Seacrest, where our house is. . . .makes me want to cancel our upcoming vacation. UUGGGGHHHH. . . . .please ask all snakes to exit the area. PLEASE!!!!!
I feel EXACTLY the way you do. I had never seen snakes at the beach until I started going to SoWal. As much as I love the place - I don't know why they don't put snake fences around the whole area!
jump like a screaming sissy.
Can you post a photo of the snake so we can know what it looks like?
Are you serious????
Of course I am! However there are probably many snake-o-phobes, like me, out there, and if I could invent such a thing I am sure I would be able to afford a house like Charlie Hilton's.
Please get to work on that fantastical fence - I'll buy one! Our yard is mostly wooded and includes a shallow creek, providing habitation for a bit too much nature on some days. I love to garden and am very concerned that one day I will find the snake too late to get out of the way. Just weeding the bank of juniper is a scary task. For years, we joked about the Easter Snake we would stumble across annually while hiding eggs. My golden retrievers seem to smell them and will halt in their tracks if a snake is around. One day they wouldn't leave the back porch steps. I follow their lead.
