Everybody, thank you,thank you, thank you!!
I told my brother to try behaviour modification, after her recovery, by getting a rubber snake, put it on the floor, as she approaches it, either give her a cold spritz from a spray bottle, or better yet shake something that mimics thunder sounds, for she is petrified of thunder.
Whatever, I hope he gets a handle on where the snakes are sneaking in, he suspects they are under his porch under his screened in porch. Needless to say, he is not ready to go looking under there. Old wive's tales of moth balls, repellents really are not effective, he will need to bring in professionals.
We had friends that lived at the bottom of the mountains in NY state, the area was full of rattlers, a team came in gaffed and bagged as many as possible and took them away, I can't remember what followed after, except I told our friends stay away from there, scope the area outside their back door and do not allow the dog to be out alone.
Misty was behind her fence but those freaking snakes slither right through.
Misty has caught and ripped apart many snakes, luckily they had not been venomous, till last week.
Again, we thank y'all from the bottom of our hearts, it has meant so much to recieve your well wishes and prayers.
Bless you all, good people.

Love,
Roe
