I came across 6 snakes last night while I was raking.  Actually, I was collecting large chunks of bark remaining from our recently removed sycamore.  Surrounding the stump is a large swath of English Ivy known for harboring wildlife.  They were all juveniles, the largest measuring roughly 5 inches in length, and were likely from the same brood.  This breaks my streak of complaining about the lack of snakes (or any reptiles) in my yard.  I was quite pleased.  I’d really like to move ahead with a small pond in the backyard to attract more wildlife.  We have the room.
