As far as I know, the snake is still here. I did manage to look up a local snake wrangler before I left. I'll try to get in touch later today. If it is non-poisonous I'll probably leave it be. The pond is badly in need of some serious maintenance. We had a hose failure earlier this spring that pumped most of the water out and killed all the larger fish. The snake is eating this and last years babies. If it gets them all I'll be able to empty the pond and try to fix the leaks.
WB. If you're going to reno..the cost of 1/4inch wire mesh is negligible. Bury it 6 inches under ground and 30 inches over around your pond. Snake problem solved forever.
