We see a lot of snakes in our yard, not daily though. We've only seen one venomous snake in our yard and that was a coral snake. It's not unusual for us to see black racers, rat snakes, or Florida water snakes in our yard. We've seen a couple hognose snakes too and a few others. I've seen rattlesnakes on a few occasions, but never in our yard.

We live completely surrounded by woods though, with water nearby, so we probably have more than the average yard has. We're always keeping a look out for snakes. We really enjoy seeing the non-venomous snakes in our yard. We're always cautious though and keep an eye out for venomous snakes, especially with Nathan and the dogs.

Here's a yellow rat snake we've seen in our yard.


Florida has 37 non-venomous species and 6 venomous.
