You are right, when I walk around the yard I always look down.

Speaking of which, does anyone know where I can get a poster that identifies the various snakes so I can teach my boys what to look for?

I saw this guy in my pond on Easter. Does anybody know what it is?

Check with your extension service or conservation agency, something should be available. I use this one for my state: Missouri's Venemous Snakes

Its kinda hard to tell from pic but my guess would be a "Diamondback water snake"(non-venenous I believe).
Not to be confused with a "Diamondback rattler".

So far I've just see some garter snakes but if they're out the stinkin' rattlers are too. Time to load up with snakeshot.

We have already had a bad year here. They started coming out about 4 weeks ago. My in laws live next door. The FiL has had to use the boom stick on 8 rattlers so far this year.
