I voted yes, however, venomous snakes only. We have livestock, and thus, tall grass around the house (pens up around the hosue is for the silk animals), so, walking the yard to make sure that there's nothing nasty is pointless, as is putting up special anti-snake fencing on the fences (goat horns get tangled in almost anything small).

Last year, we have a purebred baby goat that we were talking about registering. One evening, he came home with the rest of the herd. Back end wasn't working right. We looked him over and discovered where he had been struck on the leg by a snake. He never really recovered. A possible $500+ gone...That, and I've been chased by cottonmouths a few too many times :|

On the otherhand, I havne't seen a venomous snake in a couple years now.
