Ahhhh, you want the truth 'bout the snakes???
Yeah, okay we got a couple or three but not as many as I thought there'd be...
Actually, last fall I had some guys workin' fir me and one got a call from his wife... She said that a 4 foot black snake had got stuck in one of them sticky boxes ya' set fir mice and she wanted him to come home and kill it!!!
Well, I jumped in and asked if I could have the snake and he looked at me as if I'd lost my mind but black snakes is good so I went with this feller and in 'bout five minutes I'd pried that poor snake off the sticky box and had 'im in a gunny sack and brought him home and let him loose in the barn...
Found his shedded skin last week in there so, yeah, I gotta say that I* got at least one snake...
Oh yeah, almost forgot that I was in this rock pile last week and a copperhead come out from unner a rock I was about to get and slithered away... He was too purdy to hurt...
But, I ain't seen the first snake down on the new house site an' I done benn bush-hoggin' it 'bout every 3 weeks...
That's the truth...
Deer? Yeah... Fox? Yeah... Racoons and possums? Yeah... A million kinds of bugs? Yeah... But ain't seen no snakes...
