Well, if it is for his safety-you need to do what ever you need to do- being a pen or not! One of these days-that snake could be poisons and you could loose him...to something as silly as not putting him in a pen! If he is part of the family... you need to do everything possible to keep him safe... If he is not... then let him get killed with a horrible painfully death!
There are other things you can do.. my dog has a dog run...
Its like a really long line that is tied between two trees-ours go us for an acre and a half.... and you can choose how long you want the end rope to be that clips to his collar!Ours is about 15 feet... so he has ALOT of freedom, (we had to do this because he chases cars)!The end rope can move over the line.... with like little wheels it has!You can buy these at pet stores!(the whole dog run) He can follow us,and be with us!Also-it doesn't have to be a straight line,I'm sure you could figure out how to do it circular,EXT! This i think was the best choice for us.... our dog doesn't even know hes on it... and he doesn't get hurt! I hope this helps good luck, p.s. also-the vet can tell you good ideas and where to bye these!

Hopefully you are not the person who claimed to be bitten by 15 rattlesnakes..If not here is your answer. Each year in the spring, where I live, they have special training to teach dogs not to go near snakes. So ask your vet or local pet store who in your area does this training. It is quite successful. How come he has not died if he gets bitten so often?

If there are snakes in the woods, then for your dog's own safety, you should confine him. There could easily come a day when he's bitten by something that could kill him, and then I suspect you'd feel pretty awful that you didn't keep him confined.

find some place or some body that does snake proofing so that your dog will leave the snakes a lone. check on the internet for help.

canines handle a rattle snake chew much greater effective than people. I even have time-commemorated of two canines that have been bitten and that they are fantastic. they only swelled up for some days then have been lower back to regular.

You are going to have to either fence him in or get used to him getting bit by snakes.
