You'll cope.

Maybe you could make them a mulchy home of their own.

I used to have big fat garden toads living happily in my potato mulch. I made toad houses for them from clay pots, but they like the cool damp straw better.

with all those animals your better off to garden at your local zoo.

If the snakes are so busy in your potato patch that they're knocking down the plants, LET THEM WORK!

You'll get used to them. I used to jump when I saw one, now I pick them up and put them in a safer place if the cats are poking at them, or if they're too close to the street.

Gardening is not a sterile process. It's the original Give and Take system.

I assume these are plain old harmless rat snakes? If you want them to move a bit, you might create a rock pile next to an overgrown bush for them nearby. Shade + a place to sun themselves when chilly? Snake heaven.

They'll still visit the garden for lunch, but might cause a little less traffic damage.

If I were clever, I'd do an imitation of Samuel L. Jackson from "Snakes on Planes"

I'm tired of these....
