I am in Davenport Florida and have, from what my roomates have texted me, a VERY LARGE agressive "black" snake in our pool enclosure. They are both terrified of snakes and want it gone. I am an animal lover and don;t want it DEAD. They have tried to encourage it to leave but it strikes open mouthed if you get near it. I am thinking maybe pregnant and it has been there all day and will not leave. They will not go out to the pool area at all because it is there, and they will not let the dogs out. I was directed here by someone on another animal board who said you all might be able to help. My e-mail is nycstagegirl@yahoo.com

I would GREATLY appreciate any and all assistance (and redirecting of my post if it is in the wrong forum!)

THANKS!
