Lucky you! I get copperheads in my yard. I always use a walking stick when going in the woods to make a movement before I step. They like my farm pond.
I would love to see some garter snakes. They are harmless and useful. I do understand the eck factor for some people.
I did find a ring neck snake in my laundry room many years ago. It was newly hatched, so it could have wiggled in under the outer door. This cutie is about 5" long and harmless.
Good luck with the snakes.
peace
