I'm going to Arizona!
I'm not sure if anyone will remember this, but I had asked a question as to whether or not it would be the right thing to want to go to the same college as my boyfriend just to be together. Well, he decided he wanted to go to Arizona. To be exact, The Art Institute of Arizona and I was going to go to The Bryman School of Phoenix to study massage therapy. I was looking at houses online in Arizona and I noticed that they were dirt cheap (as in price) so we decided to buy a little house out there (There are 3-4 bedroom houses for 95,300 out there!) My only concern, it's the desert and I'm PETRIFIED of snakes. I know there are many many many snakes there. Does anyone live in Arizona that is scared of snakes? What do you do about it? Is there anything you can put around your house to prevent the snakes from going into your yard? I really have my heart set on moving there, but the only downside is the snakes. Any knowledge of this subject would be so very much appreciated!

I lived in AZ for 15 years of my 17 year old life. It depends on where your moving to, if your moving out in the open desert area, then you may have a small problem wit snakes, but your def. going to have to get over that..lol...snakes live there, cant change that. If you live in the city area, or ne thing close to the city, you'll have no problem..AT ALL. I honeslty dont think there's anything you can put around your house...but theres no harm in trying...ask around, go to like home depot or soemthing...they should no. But ya other then that...its the greatest state ever!!! You'll love it...i bet you'll barley even see snakes...Have fun...i wish i could move back!

I lived in Phoenix for the first four years of my life and never once had a snake to worry about. If you are worried about them coming in to your house, i recomend not haveing pets of any kind. snakes are more afraid of people than people are of them most the time anyway. the attack out of that fear. so, if you see one, stand still, and back away. call pest control and leave the house. or leave the house and then call pest control. but the chances of one being in your house is very low as they usually don't venture far from the rural areas of the Arizona desert. you should be fine. oh, and one added precaution (dont let it become an obsession though), at night before you go to bed, pull the sheets back and check to just be sure. soon it'll be mechanical and you'll stop doing it as often unless you sense that you need to.

then stay in the house.

Yeah houses over here *california* cost 600,000+ and mine was 1 million! Crazy...Anyway, usally there are snakes but as long as you dont bother them they wont bother you! And when I was in arizona for a while I didnt see any (and we were in the desert). Just be safe and dont hang out around areas that snakes will be around. There are plenty of ways to be safe and you can ask neighbors, people in town what they do when your there!

See i'd have almost the exact same problem as you...i'd be really scared of moving to Arizona because i'm afraid of cacti. Yes it doesn't make any sense but it's my phobia. i'm not sure how to keep snakes away from your house but you'll probably get used to it after awhile...good luck with everything! Sorry this isn't really advice, i just wanted to share!
