There is but it doesn't make any difference. I have been fortunate the last few years not to see any but I guess my time will come. Saw a few when I was just a child though. Mostly browns but they can be bad.

I heard that snakes do not like pepper or spices. Not sure if that refers to in the garden or on the BBQ.

Pepper would work if my yard was like a postage stamp.

Do you play the flute? Like the snake charmers.

I used to. lol I don't think they have ears... OR, do they?

Thats the whole idea Molly. If they like it, they wont leave ;-}
