snakes or spiders?

someone has an infestation of garter snakes in their yard... well up here (NW USA) it is a record year for spiders. they are building huge webs... I am talking five feet wide and covering entire bushes. the spiders themselves can be up to two inches wide. Anytime I walk somewhere in my yard I run into their sticky webs and I have asked my husband to at least shoot down the webs near doorways so I dont open the door and walk smack into a spider.

he thinks it is cool and likes to give me spider science info during breakfast. give me a break.

UGH I hate walking into spider webs. It seems like i cant get all of it off and normally i start to panic thinking a spider was attached lol You outta take some pictures if you can.

Oh, disgusting! I do NOT mind snakes in the least, but I freak out about spiders. I'm a terrible arachnophobic.

If you do take pictres though, could you post them? I've never seen a web that's five feet across!

I'm terrified of spiders, I can't be around them at all without having a panic attack. Snakes I don't mind though, I actually like them a little bit.

I don't like walking into spider webs, but I'm not afraid of the webs or the spiders. I think they are kinda cool to really get up close and personal and watch them.

If the spiders are on the colorful side - green/yellow/orange looking they are probably the garden spiders which can be quite large. And so fun to watch them wrap up food too

I saw one in my ex-SIL's garden - nice size spider and nice web. So I hunted for a moth or something to feed the spider. Caught one and tossed it into the web. Spider came running down and in a second or two had the moth completely wrapped up for supper.

I've also hand fed praying mantis a grasshopper. She just reached out and took it from me and killed it. Was cool to watch her up close.

Spiders I can scream then kill (except Wolf Spiders - see below)

Snakes (and Wolf Spiders) I scream and then have a horrible fear of stepping foot in the area I saw it in...

I can't do the spider thing. Just the thought of them makes me wanna vomit. I go into panic attack mode even at the sight of the tiniest one. It's a severe phobia. Snakes are meh to me. I used to have a baby python he was the sweetest thing ever.

I like snakes but they pose a BIG risk to my animals ... Spiders we are battling in the Inland northwest too, this spring a spider bite nearly killed my dog ...

Yeah...here in Florida it is snake and spider season ALL the time ...but this past month we have gotten alot of rain...we have had to get to get 2 snakes out of my office in the past week or so!!! And I work in a doctor's office!!! And those huge banana spider's and their webs are everywhere...hate running into them!
