Well now that I know this good little secret, I'll be sure to keep this in mind next time we swap some equipment :-P
They used to be all around when I grew up, mostly creek moccasins and garter snakes. Whenever they showed up any closer than the border of the driveway to the house, out came the shovel. My dad hate HATE HATES spiders. Next to them, snakes are a close second. He had no sympathy for them. That being said, if I had a harmless garter snake creeping in my garage keeping mice under control, I can't help but think I'd keep the lil guy around.
