Good luck with the weevils. Once it stops raining, they will disappear for a while. I have many native and ornamentals in my yard (as well as a tangerine tree) that are slowly being devoured. I squish the weevils in my gloved hand until I get bored. They "say" they don't fly, but they can fly enough to evade me when I try to do the recommended, Shake them into an upturned umbella and dump into a bucket of soapy water. As for the snake, perhaps it isn't a snake at all but a lizard? Check out "Ophisaurus ventralis" which is the Eastern Glass Lizard. Looks like a short (about a foot long) snake.

I was deployed to Iraq in 2004 threw 2005. Saddam Hussain collected exotic animals. I mean exotic animals that killed people and he used them to torture citizens and enemies. I was first stationed at his sons hunting palace. Mainly saw huge fish there but have heard stories of different animals they found and had to clear out. Never saw a python there but did see two cobras. One was alive and was a tan color which was 4 to five feet long and the other was a long black snake that was at least 10ft long. It looked dead and was in a shallow stream. I did not get that close to it. The biggest camel spider I saw was in Camp Arifjohn Kuwait. It was the size of my boot. So it was like ten to 12 inches.
