We have no venomous snakes that I know of, but when I see a snake in my yard, it's usually sunning and I like to take pictures of them. I did have a small garter living under my pool filter last summer and we spent some good quality time together because the filter kept breaking down. Eventually it stopped scooting away every time I came near and would just hang out while I worked on the filter...an outdoor pet snake! It was fun!
