I often see posts from Americans along the lines of: “I stepped outside and there was a snake on my doorstep.”
Or: “I was out buying bread and saw a snake.”

I live in a region with a climate similar to America’s. But to see a snake, you’d have to go to some godforsaken place—you can’t even imagine.

Can you explain why it’s so easy to come across snakes in the US? And such pretty ones, too—not just some gray slug.
