Tell you what< I will trade you one rat snake for one rattle snake. :0) Terry on the mountain with timber rattle snakes. Question for you Why would you worry about a rat snake? They are there because they have food which means you have rats or mice. ________________________________ From: JudyLyn :) Fanning <judylynfanning@xxxxxxxxx> To: "CHGermanShepherdShowDogsList@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <CHGermanShepherdShowDogsList@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; "Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Germanshepherds4Show@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <Germanshepherds4Show@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Fri, June 18, 2010 9:27:56 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] SNAKES We live in the South, in a city, in a neighborhood. Apparently, the snakes live here, too. Saw a very long snake in my yard today about the size of a large broom handle. Neighbor said he thought it was a rat snake. It disappeared underneath a bush before we could "be-head" the creature. Also saw a report on the news of a dog being bitten by a snake. Heads up, please be watchful. We bought snake deterrent; however, it is not dog friendly, so we can only treat areas outside the dogs' reach. Yikes....I hate snakes! Does anyone have a home remedy or safe way of deterring the snakes? Thanks in advance! WE HAVE PUPPIES!!!
