Thanks for sharing, that's some scary stuff. I'm glad no one was bit. Snakes love hiding in high grass, the bad thing is large clumps of daylilies work just as well. I see snakes between my pots from time to time so watch out at nurseries that have their containers on the ground. Hopefully everyone has a safe year this year and can avoid venomous snakes, scorpions, and spiders along with other garden hazards this year like West Nile, Zika, Lymes disease, and Chikungunya. Even small pest like ticks and Mosquitoes can be just as dangerous as the venomous things in our gardens. so watch where you walk, and place your hand and slap on some OFF if ticks and Mosquitoes are present.
