I live in suburbia and have had 4 snakes in my yard so far this year, and seen 5 others down at the local lake/river.. had 4 coastal carpet pythons in the yard, varying in size from 8ft long down to 2.5ft... the 8 footer was a handful to catch and relocate down to the river... but she was very calm.. just a lot stronger than I am..
Down at the river I've seen 2x browns mid way through their courtship, a red bellied black, a green tree python and a rough scaled python... All of which were beautiful animals...
My pet lizards and snakes have all come out of hibernation now.. a good sign that its summer time!
