Are moth balls good to put down for them? Someone told me that one time.
JandS89 : Bad for environment to put out and once I read is not legal to do so. Been years since I read that though.
v1kings28 : What a horrible thing to find in your pool. I can barely look at that snake.

JandS89 : They don't work to keep snakes away - waste of money and time. Mothballs might keep people away though. 
When you find one there will be 1 or 2 more. Be careful. I'm sorry but a poisonous snake needs to be killed.
Mimilane : If said snake is in your house, I understand the concern. If you have toddlers running in your back yard, it makes sense to kill the snake if you can't easily relocate it. Otherwise killing them is unnecessary and no different than killing any other wild animal (coon, squirrel, possum).
justanirishgirl: that is a younger snake and that is another reason that it is lighter of color. The snake is more likely from a litter of snakes that were born early in the summer. I don't think this was the " swim of shame"!! :D
justanirishgirl : all snakes can swim, some better than others. :0 also, watch for other snakes, as this one may have been a Mama, or part of a mid-summer litter.
LittleTexas : green tail means he is a juvenile.
eighteen : I relocated him far away from the pool thanks
v1kings28 : I forget a lot of homes in KW are close to a release point. I'm glad it worked out!

buffaloglenn : It's also very dangerous to try and kill a snake. There are volunteers that will come remove the snake for free.« Back to Chat
