Your concern for snakes, include venomous ones, is admirable. However, the health and safety of your children are far more important than any snake! Read the snake proofing reference for your yard listed above. Securing the area around your house with a snake proof fence is a good idea for many more reasons than snakes. Get some cats. They will help control rodents and they seem to help keep snakes away. Check the reptile club list on this website and try contacting them for help. Educate your children about the danger of venomous snakes. Take them to a zoo so they can see what you are talking about. Finally, any venomous reptile found near your house should be permanently removed or safely destroyed. Snakebite is a serious medical emergency. The results can be permanent disfigurement, or death. Again, the health and safety of your children must come before the welfare of any snake.
