Yep that's about it Dee.
Lets face it - snakes don''t actualy have feet do they - so digging with your nose - well - it's not a very enticing past time is it.
Snakes are in general after somewhere to hide and be protected when they are resting, and this also tends to be the same place their food source is - but they also need to move - and lots of snakes are on the move this year due to the dry time in SA.
Searching for food and water.
My advice - snakes do exist, but dont be óverly worried about them.
Same thing applies with car accidents, heart attacks and lots of other dangers in life. Be aware, be prepared, but don't be obsessed about it.
My belief in life is we attract what we think about most.
So if you think good things will happen - they will happen.
Like enjoying the house and the things you and your family dream about when you''re living there.
