We have a speckled king snake that lives under our a/c unit. Pretty happy too, he's nice and big and fed well. Can hear him when hunting catching rats and what not.
Several years ago our neighbour was bit by a cotton mouth because all the flooding drove them inwards more. Anyway, I was freaked out at the thought of the little ones going out back. We never did see the snake thank goodness, maybe because of Mr King snake.
My crazy kids love snakes, older daughter and her friends found a few little cuties.
