I fear I would not be here to tell the story. I have been gardening for over 30 years and have not seen one yet.

But lower humidity makes it so pleasant.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to know just what kind of snake you had. I still have an awful lot to learn about crawly things, but it seems kinda 'smooth' for a rat snake.
