Most people have to steel themselves, mentally and emotionally, to remove an unknown species of snake from their pool. Snakes can swim, and while they aren’t enjoying your floating apparatuses as much as you would, they are enjoying your pool for drinking and cooling off. Just as a little chlorinated water doesn’t hurt us, it doesn’t do much to a snake either. A snake breathes with lungs and not gills so adding chemicals to your water will not affect the reptiles unless the toxins are so potent you can’t stand to be in your pool, either. You have a pool, so you must like to swim, and it makes sense to avoid any methods that make your pool completely unusable. Not only does that ruin your summer fun, but you can do serious damage to your pool liner and filtration system.
