Remember how the chicken coop is in the barn? well there use to be a quick latch. It auto latches when swing the door. I had just moved to the farm and thank goodness my mom was visiting because at the time I didnt know anyone up here. I went to feed the chicks in the coop and there was this HUGE black snake that had a lump (chick) and couldnt get back through the chicken wire. I opened the door with a shovel to kill him and that damn door latched behind me locking me in that coop with that snake. I chopped off his head and his body kept moving around. Chicks running, screaming, me screaming, snake flopping.
It was almost close to an hour before my mom wondered where I was and came out to the barn. I tried sticking things through the wire to open the latch and no luck. I was close to slamming that wire down. If my mom hadnt been there I would of had no choice. I had that latch changed asap.
I've been here 5 years and I've only see maybe 4 snakes. Nothing like south florida where I dealt with them on a regular basis. The snakes here arent dangerous.

I'm making a note that I aint gonna be exploring the barn or the chicken coop at your place... jus' sayin.
