I've found myself in a bizarre situation and If anyone out there knows anything about Ohio's Black Rat Snake I would appreciate your help.



Basically what I need to know is Do Rat Snakes breed near water? My next door neighbor has informed me that my pond is infested with black snakes and that the cattails in my pond is what is attracting them. According to her the love to breed in cattails.



Are these snakes dangerous to people? Again according to my neighbor her horse, dog and granddaughter have been bitten and given infections from these snakes.



Next question how can I encourage them to go somewhere else? Will cuttdown the cattails make them move on?



Thanks for any help out there

Kim
