Snakes have never bothered me. Around here nearly all of them are non poisonous and don’t hurt anything. I’ve seen two milk snakes, one corn snake, a few blue racers in my lifetime. Everything else has been garter snakes. I’ve seen three this year so far. Supposedly there are a few pygmy rattlers in MI but I’ve never seen one.
My dog likes to kill snakes with a passion. How do you guys in poisonous snake country keep your dogs away from them?
How much are you asking for the dog? I HATE snakes! I was swamping behind a dozer in Idaho one time in the Fall and he opened up a den of snakes. It stuck and smelled even worse after 5 gallons of diesel fuel and a road flare.
