I can handle a lot, but snakes are my biggest phobia. I probably would not go within 100 feet of the pool again!

I totally understand about being cautious of your surroundings, and expecting the unexpected. My youngest daughter drives a tractor trailer for a living, and she has learned to watch for snakes, bears, and coyotes in the parking lots of the truck stops across the country.

There are roadside parks here in New Mexico that warn visitors to stay on paths to avoid rattlesnakes. I wonder if the snakes are trained to stay off the paths? Anyway, I've lived here 15 years and I've never seen a snake.

We have a lot of critters here, too.........and luckily, I have never come face-to-face with one of them.......

Our pool is caged/screened in. Last summer we had a few very tiny frogs in the pool. Once in a while a stray small lizard gets in. I have a couple of nets to use for removal. So far no snakes. They are actually few and far between in my yard and gardens.

Well, I was looking for the "pool snake" to post here, and then I saw the other photos. I figured Viewpoints could handle the snake cake. Wink

Oh my. I don't blame you. I never want to be the first one in a pool and this is one of the reasons I avoid lakes!
