    now what if you quit mowing altogether and just got some goats or bunnies to do the job?

    I've had a very good year mowing my yard. No causalities. But then the mowing schedule is posted.
    My wild radixes usually go visit friends, take in a movie or just go shopping on mowing days.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Only one thing worse than weed-whacking a garter snake. Weed whacking a huge slug and having the guts splatter all over your face. eeeww.

    No. I think weed whacking a garter snake is worse

    You guys must have lots of garters if you have to watch for them when you mow. Good problem to have, i guess, if you like garters. I'm lucky if I see one or two garters a year. Never mowed a garter but I do watch out for the copperheads and cottonmouths down here. Ran over one's tail a while back and it started chasing me, thankfully my underwear was the only casualty that time. So a weed whacking accident would also be a bad thing, except I would be doing the dying instead of the snake.

    I live in a highly urbanized area. No snakes in my yard today. I used to see them (very small T. ordinoides) occasionally back when I first moved in in 1992 but there was a field behind my house back then. Now it's a dental lab.
