Well, killed another snake this morning right outside my fenced in yard.....it APPEARS to be a pygmy rattlesnake; catlike vertical slit eyes. There's a great web site that shows the difference between pygmy and hognose. Time to torch the YARD!!!! [omg][omg][omg] Any ideas?????

Put a piece of tin down and leave it till it starts getting cooler. Then flip the tin with a how and see what has taken up residence.

Not a pygmy. It was indeed a hognose.

This works with an aluminum boat sitting next to a pond also.

Do you have any bird feeders in your yard where the birds scratch the seed out on the ground? I have heard that all the birds congregated in one place and all the seed on the ground attracts snakes.
