Location: Missouri | Oh my goodness! I would've peed my pants. I HATE snakes!
We had a baby copperhead IN the house two yrs ago when we first moved in. The people who lived here before us left the land a complete overgrown mess...so we saw literally dozens of snakes that summer. Caught several other babies in mouse traps in the basement. It was gross. I told my husband I wanted to move...lol! |

Location: NC | I have to say thats one perk of living on an island that has no poisonous anything lol. I leave shoes outside all the time and besides the occasional caterpillar they are empty. I would have freaked out!! |

| Definitely a coral snake but the good part ist that it has to gnaw on you rather than just bite you |

| I read they have very small mouths and it is difficult for them to bite you, which explains why none of the cats or dog were bit- they were all trying to get a piece of it. This one still got the death sentence, my grandbaby is moving in in a few weeks, no poisious snakes allowed. I don't bother the non venemous snakes. |

Long island, ny. Think its too over populated for most wildlife. We have some wildlife but nothing like mainland lol.

| OMG I live in n. Tx do I need to worry about coral snakes!?! We have copperheads and supposedly rattlers but never seen one.
I kill ALL snakes and do not try to find out if they are poisonous or not. I know snakes have their place in the world but I prefer it not to be my place!! Icky! |

Location: Montana | I was told today that if you put rock salt out it will deter them as it burns their bellies. And also pigs help but I didn't get the answer to that as she had to help someone else. |

Occasionally a garter snake. And when i say occasionally i mean i think ive seen 1 or 2 in 20+ years. I think ive seen more dead snakes in the hay then live here. We have alot more human snakes then animal ones ;) heck people were freaking out about a coyote running around out east. |
