Did You Ever Come Across A Snake?

Question

I did!  When I moved to Phoenix, there was one in the draining system in my swimming pool.  I shuddered when I saw it coiled and it was still alive.  Thank goodness it was just a garter snake.

Answer 5

Yes, I almost stepped on one once. I had a summer job, and was walking home, while looking through some mail so I didn't pay attention to the road in front of me until the snake raised it's head in a sudden move.

We studied each other for about a minute before I made a respectful circle around it.

I saw a snake on our back patio once. It was small and black and white striped. Pretty freaky because I almost stepped on it -_-

Answer 9

I grew up in the country, so I've seen a lot of snakes.  They're pretty commonplace.

Answer 10

Yes, I saw snakes some times.

Once, I was on holiday and walking on a small garden path, and right on one of the ancient stone stairs, there was a rather big snake taking a sunbath, probably an Aesculapian snake (from the family of the Culubridae). It is a protected species and nonvenomous. But till my camera was ready, the snake had disappeared in the bushes. One or two days later, I found the exuvia.

Furthermore, I had the occasion to see various snakes in vivaria, zoos, animal presentations, etc., but also dead snakes, killed by road traffic.
