have a small dog and are concerned for it's safety.

Last week, I found one just like it on the rail of the chain link fence
around the back yard. It was 4 1/2 to 5 feet long, I didn't measure it. It
has a bright red tongue about the size of a tooth pick. There are so few
poisonous snakes in Texas and I knew it wasn't a rattler, coral snake, or a
moccasin; so I just left it. An hour later when I mowed I watched for it,
but it was gone.
They do climb, and love to get into birds nests for eggs and baby birds.
Other than that, they are not a problem.
