Hi Catherinet Thanks for appreciating that the snake is part of the scheme of things. They are one of the reasons amphibians need to procreate so profusively to continue to be successful. The snakes can't eat them all! (Birds, rodents, raccons, opossums, etc. can't either!) The biggest danger to the amphibian population to date is habitat destruction by mankind....you know, all those closed malls with empty space in them and a brand new one less than 5 miles away? Yeah, that decreases the frog and toad calls more than anything else! (Also, snakes, toads, deer, and anything else natural, like trees, oxigen, water recharge areas, etc.) This weekend is Earthday. In Cleveland we have one of the biggest celebrations in the country at the Cleveland Zoo on Sunday, April 22nd from 10-5P. This Sunday! Come on down to EARTHFEST 2007! And bring someone with you!! Bring a bag of aluminum cans and register for a new bike made of aluminum! Why don't you join us and learn some more, get a new compact flourescent bulb! Admission is free if you ride a shuttle bus from Public Square, $7 for adults if you go right to the zoo. The weather looks like it will be perfect! By the way, the snake is going to help with rodents too. Let him stay is my vote! -TT Here is a link that might be useful: Ohio Amphibians
