My fam & I just moved into a new home, & I gave the lawn a very much needed mow. I watered the lawn, & as I watered I talked to my granny on the phone, & I could have sworn I saw a snake tail on the other side of the tree I was watering. I went to the other side of the tree & saw a really long yellow snake w/ black spots. I ran like a beheaded chicken screamed like a little girl, nearly breaking my granny's ear drum, hung up the phone, got my parents

What country are you in. Sounds unusual if you are in the UK but anything is possible as some people are irresponsible with their pets.

Snakes can live anywhere, even in urban areas. It wasn't poisonous, so don't worry about it. Now that the grass is mowed he probably won't be back. I had them all the time when I lived in the city. Now that I"m in the country, I don't see them (but that doesn't mean they aren't there - they just have better and more hiding spots).

I'm sure you did see one. They are often in the gardens and tall grass. Keep your lawn mowed at least once per week during growing season. DON'T EVER reach your hand down into a bunch of flowers/ground covers/ wood/compost/mulch without first shaking the area with a stick before you reach in.
Most are not harmful and they eat mice, rats, moles, etc.

Yes, you could very easily have seen a snake, so just to ease your mind ..........YOUR NOT NUTS!
If you want to know what kind of snake type in your search bar the name of your state.
Example: Missouri snakes (I live in MO)
Something like this will pop up just open the link.

It's always a good idea to know what snakes are in your area. Be it poisonous or non-poisonous
