Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hi Sue - I don't know where you live, but here in Florida, if we see a black snake, we can be pretty sure there are no poisonous snakes around. We have a couple of black racers that hang around our house and I don't mind them a bit. When my mother was alive, she lived across the street from us. She was deathly afraid of snakes and she ALWAYS seemed to get the poisonous ones over there - coral snakes, water moccasins, pigmy rattlers - but it was rare to see a black one. Years ago, our dog killed a black snake in our back yard. Next thing we knew, we saw a coral snake. Then other black racers came back and we haven't seen a poisonous one since. **knock on wood**.
