    Yes, I think it's beautiful also, and we do not kill them. BUT...I DO NOT like surprises in my greenhouse, sooooooooooo I will certainly be sure to close the door when leaving...Betty P.S. When we DO find a venomous one, we deport it from our property.

    Well, it makes me happy that there are a lot of people out there who believe we should just let them go their own way...After all, snakes do us a favor by eating a lot of insects & mice! Betty :-)

    Sorry Guys but I HATE SNAKES! I don't kill them but then I don't get that close. We have copperheads around here and I have no love for them. Garter snakes i will tolerate but sorry have no need for the rest. LOL but I still love u guys--just keep the snakes away--far, far away!

    Well, Bill, you can bring them down here to us. We have a "live & let live" motto here on our small Texas ranch. We also have copperheads, but if you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone. Betty :-)
