Do you see a lot of snakes on your property?
Just curious. Looks like it would be very serpent-friendly. Lots of hiding spots.
More of our property is woods/creek than the fenced maintained area and I see more than I’d like.

I think I can answer this question.
I NEVER saw one snake the entire time I lived in SoCal.
I think all the snakes moved to Arizona.

Surprisingly few, mostly garter snakes and an occasional California king snake, which are very cool. I guess rattlers are fairly common around here in open spaces, especially spring and early summer, but I've never seen one in our yard in 25 years. We had a big rattler in our back yard in a much more suburban area around 1993.
I found this little guy stuck in our pool skimmer about five years ago, and let him go in the yard. I ran over a pretty big California king with my riding mower once and felt really bad about it.

You're not likely to see too many in your mom's basement.

Kinda cosmic that the Pope passes and Sam is
inspired to post about snakes.

I had not considered the significance.

Basically Mikey has seen 3 snakes in 25 years.
Was it really that hard to say "Pickle was right?"

Pickle who? You? I thought you disavowed that identity. You introdouched yourself as a long time
LURKER.
But the question "Pickle was right?"... now that is something to consider. Not the point about snake habitats, but the whole socio-political scenario. Ramifications involving global events.
A proper hell on earth punishment for the whole world population could very well be
Pickle was right?

Pickle doesn’t read English very good.

Let's break it down...
You wrote:I think
Right off the bat we have a problem.
You wrote:I can answer this question.
Yet you didn't. The question was:
Sudden Sam, to Mikey wrote:Do you see a lot of snakes on your property?
I could be wrong, but I doubt Mikey ever invited you over to his crib and you therefore have likely never been there.
You wrote:I NEVER saw one snake the entire time I lived in SoCal.
Perhaps you should've gotten out more. There are PLENTY of snakes in SoCal.
You wrote:I think
The initial problem rears its ugly head again, in much the same way a SoCal rattlesnake does.
You wrote:all the snakes moved to Arizona.
Now this is just a retardation problem. Nothing can be done to help.
So getting back to your question:
You wrote:Was it really that hard to say "Pickle was right?"
Other than possibly the part about having never seen a snake in SoCal, where, exactly, were you right about anything?

Stanley has handled thousands of Spitting Trouser Cobras. He just couldn't see them with his eyes glazed shut.
