lol, I'm surprised you've not seen any slinkies hanging in that garden of yours....I actually don't mind snakes so much. Not that I'd stay in the same vicinity of a rattler or some such similar snake, I have all the respect in the world for them! Interesting, around here, with the extreme drought going on in the southeast of late, there have been more sightings of rattlesnakes and water mocassins in more suburban areas. Poor things, just searching for water.
