As long as they don't touch me, I'm fine with the critters. Good thing, because out here it's pretty common to find snakes sunning on your front steps or crawling out of your pile of laundry on the basement floor or falling out of the roll-up blind when you go to roll it down to block the sun! I've been known to go out and beat black snakes on the head to get them to let go of baby rabbits.
