Finding a red-bellied water snake curled up among gardening tools might sound alarming, but for one gardener, it’s become a highlight of their day. This friendly reptile keeps returning to the greenhouse, and the gardener couldn’t be happier—sharing their excitement with friends and followers online. Red-bellied water snakes are nonvenomous and actually help keep pests like mice and rats away. Sadly, these helpful creatures often lose their homes to development or get mistaken for dangerous snakes. Letting your yard grow a little wild or planting native species can make a big difference for local wildlife. Would you welcome a snake into your garden? #Home #gardening #wildlife
