I followed the tracks of a very very very large snake in my yard. This proved very disturbing to me for I have 3 small dogs. I do not know what kind of snake it is, but I have a feeling it's a python or a boa. Here's why.... a month ago I found a BABY snake pressed up to the garage door. Yes a baby snake, which looked like a python or a boa. I researched all I could on snakes and I have not found one that looks just like it yet. The Problem: The MOMMA is still in the backyard and it is so large I can hear it slithering along the ground hunting at night. Could someone please give me the satisfation and tell me this isn't really a snake? I would appreciate it. P.S. I've always wanted a pony! My problem lies not with copperheads or pesky rattlers….

You should see your vet to get a vaccine for any common venomous snakes in your area. I work at a rural, and I mean very rural animal shelter, and we have seen several snakes in the past few days. I expected it, seeing how we are in the country and the previous management allowed the shelter to have a surmountable mice infestation. What concerns me is that snakes do not generally want to go anywhere near dogs, yet they keep showing up in their pens, or courtyard areas where we keep several dogs at a time. I know they are following the food, the insane amount of little creepy mice we have(not originally from the country) but I am getting really afraid to walk back to the dogs. I mean, I'm terribly afraid of the mice, but would rather encounter 20 of them, than 1 snake. So, with an infestation of rats, what can I do about the snakes, that won't be harmful to our dogs?? Thanks! For those with dogs…most snake bites are not serious at all, and can be treated with benadryl and a cleaning, except for rattlers and such.

I have dachshunds and although they find the copperheads they have yet to kill one.. They are constantly getting bitten and I run out with the hoe and kill the snake when I hear the dogs do the "snake alert bark". Moth balls, sulphur, snake away NOTHING works to keep the snakes from coming. I have cats and they could care less about killing a snake... they are feral cats so not lazy house cats. I have found NOTHING keeps them away but a sharp shovel does a great job decapatating them.

Do snake repellents really work? What are the best way to get rid of them. What can I put on the trees of my ranch so they won't just hang there...I am so terrified of them.

The fumes from the mothballs irritate them and they well leave the place for a long time. In addition, skunks will not come around either. Or you can use limes, pour it around you property and just put some lime out their to it well do the job as well. On the other hand, if you are desperate you can spray gasoline or diesel around there and in any holes; you see to get rid of them. Or a good shotgun well do the trick.

None of the same species. I have yet to find anyone who is willing to come catch and remove snakes. I am not willing to get close with a hoe, so I guess I will try the shotgun method. Problem is, my dogs keep finding the snakes before I do. They have been lucky and neither the copperhead nor the water moccasin bit them. I have had them "snake" trained - twice now. There has got be a better way! I am afraid to go out and mow the lawn. as I only have a push mower. Well, in 4 months I have had 5 snakes, 2 poisonous 2 not sure about, 1 nonvenomous.
