This currently-copyrighted blog is from 2014, but I assume that the advice offered by this first-rate veterinarian, Dr. Nicole Dockrey of Austin, will also be fully applicable today. According to this 2014 blog, Dr. Dockrey was based in 2014 at the Emergency Animal Hospital of Northwest Austin.

A great tip from Dr. Dockrey: "keep your (home's) yard from becoming a good snake hideout by keeping grass short and shrubs trimmed."
