I get the harmless garter? snakes quite often in my yard. They scare the snot outta me when I'm mowing and am caught unaware. Last year my smallest dog flushed one out and my Rottie nailed it and shook the living you know what out of it. After I chucked the two halves over the fence and sat back down I noticed snake blood all over my nice white service door to the garage. Nice.
