Had the same experience with horses and snakes. Snake didn’t even move and my horse nearly stepped on it. I’ve nearly stepped on so many snakes. Usually see many of them each year. Worried about my dog though. Everything goes in his mouth or gets chased.
That was the only purpose of my warning, not villainise snakes but to remind people that they're around more than usual and dogs can be very silly and make them feel rightfully threatened.
