But snakes eat the spiders, so they are good in my book.
Give me a yard full of snakes over a garden full of spiders any day.
I like snakes too, used to catch them when I was a kid. Now my cats catch them for me and bring them in. I don’t like spiders but I do respect them and usually leave them alone. Except for the black widows, just cannot have them around in the gargage so they have to be exterminated. I always apologize first before I kill them though.
