    great. I can't predict when I get another but will be happy to contact you when I do!

    (I've done the 'relocating' before but then I always feel guilty for dumping the snakes onto somebody else's property)

    As John said, Guineas might be a good solution. I've seen them chase off a large dog. Wouldn't surprise me if they kept snakes away.

    Rat snakes are great. They make decent pets, once they get to know you. If you get rid of the snakes, though, you'll have rats and mice. Had one for a long time that loved cold eggs out of the refrigerator, in the summer.

    Guineas are too loud. They will tick off the neighbors. I don't have rats. I do have mice but you would be shocked how vicious my chickens are. I know that because I rescued a cute mouse out of a grain bin and set it free outside just to see it murdered by Muffy, the chicken! A horrid experience. Glad the kids weren't with me...

    Guineas sound awesome, if people don't like the sound move back to the city and take there security lights with them
