All non-poisionous, just showed them them the other side of the yard wall. None in the house or scorp's so far.

We found our first 'Copperhead' yesterday, beautiful snake but it had to go! So it's now just just a 'Copper'.

Yet another reason not to go to Walmart. I always did say their customer service was lousy.

That one was walking around the bottom...this is another one. Chlorine would have killed it I presume...that and not being able to get out.
