>>2321466The dude above talking about bull and gopher snakes is a retard, they are not snake eaters nor are they gonna push out the venomous snakes especially Cottons and Coppers. The only snake eater thats gonna be around your area is the King Snake. For your sauna and pool remove any debris that might be present around thr surrounding area ( planks, loose rocks, pieces of tin ect) if you could send a photo or two of your AO I could point out some more changes if need be. If you dont have any bodies of water on your property cottons are not going to be an issue as they are primarily fish and amphibian eaters. Sort of for copperhead too they're amphibian consoomers they still can be present if there is a lack of water though. Learn to not be afraid of snakes and having nightmares of snakes? Do you have nightmares of dogs too because pittbulls kill more people a year in the u.s than snakes do
