as mentioned earlier, cleaning up the yard is the first thing to do. Snakes like to hang around places that can conceal them. Around the edges of structures is where you will most likely find snakes. She should keep her eyes open and be mindful of the area. If her child is going to be playing outside, she needs to inspect the area and make sure there's no hiding places for snakes where the child will be. Flip over toys and look underneath. Check the base of the slide. Snakes will seek shelter from the hot sun under there. NO SAND BOXES. So many things hide form the sun in sand. Use common sense and keep an eye on the kid. Our brains are the most powerful weapon we have against danger but it's the least used.
Hope this helps.
