Hi Emgee
Sorry to say , this little snake would not even make a light snack for the Blunt Nose Vipers we have had around the garden .
We used to have a Black Snake around , but seems to have moved on , as not been seen for a while .
Our main concern is our dogs and knowing which are good and bad snakes
Thanks
