Nice to teach the kids that snakes are nothing to be terrified of! Respect based on knowledge, yes, cautious as to kind of snake, yes. But not just unreasoning fear! A likely looking crew you have there!
They are non poisonous black rat snakes, which we get here all the time. The largest one was kept by GKs overnight and fed a mouse this morning, then released. No doubt they will be back knocking on the door soon
