just your typical garden snake... when i lived in Saskatchewan there was a garden snake nest in the acre of land my parents and i had.. sadly. i ran over a snake with the lawnmower the grass was really thick and a bit tall and i didn't see it.
Yes, I almost stepped on one once. I had a summer job, and was walking home, while looking through some mail so I didn't pay attention to the road in front of me until the snake raised it's head in a sudden move.
We studied each other for about a minute before I made a respectful circle around it.
Once, I was on holiday and walking on a small garden path, and right on one of the ancient stone stairs, there was a rather big snake taking a sunbath, probably an Aesculapian snake (from the family of the Culubridae). It is a protected species and nonvenomous. But till my camera was ready, the snake had disappeared in the bushes. One or two days later, I found the exuvia.
Furthermore, I had the occasion to see various snakes in vivaria, zoos, animal presentations, etc., but also dead snakes, killed by road traffic.
I was playing golf in Portugal and went into some trees to get my ball and there was a snake there...don't know the type..
I live in Australia and most days walk my dog in the bush.
Guess.
I've seen plenty in my area, not too many poisonous species are around here though.

Yeah but they have been mostly been harmless copper snakes.
Yes... I almost stepped on a five foot black snake once, that's the closest I've ever been to having the crap scared out of me ( literally).
I saw a snake on our back patio once. It was small and black and white striped. Pretty freaky because I almost stepped on it -_-
I grew up in the country, so I've seen a lot of snakes. They're pretty commonplace.
Yes, I saw snakes some times.
