ok ok ok calm down I don't want to disturb the balance, and you're right, cats will. I've checked out how to build a 'snake proof' fence (too be honest I see no way any fence is snake proof) and I'm considering doing this in the area the kids will be playing in the most.

Since the previous owner lived there and raised 2 kids on the property, I don't see it as a high risk area- I think the snakes pretty much stick back by the ponds, forest, and marshy areas on the land. I just wanted to have a contact that might want to come get a snake, and not destroy it, if the snakes do decide to move on up to the house area....
