Yeah, I have to agree with everyone here. I am not a snake lover, but in the past couple of years, we have been over run with voles. Once they get into the grape roots, they will kill the vine. Last year while working on them I had about a 5 foot black snake that would not even move for me, then I seen that it had a couple of bumps in it, so we came to the understanding that it could stay as long as it ate the voles. Have not seen it this year, but while putting in an end post the other night, I had a 4 foot water snake crawl over my shovel. Even after I picked it up and moved it away, it was in no big hurry to leave. Can only hope that it is living high on the vole. I guess they do good. I just wish that they would do good when I'm not around. Don't know how you can live around those rattle snakes.
