target: Snake Information

[Ludwick Mary <ludwickm@LISD.NET>]

I have a very narrow search, and am not sure exactly where to begin....
THis is for our school  psychologist.
Problem: Pole with purple martin house on top is being raided by snakes
who eat the eggs.
Question: What size pole would prevent snakes from climbing?  He read
very small ( in circumference) pole would prevent snake from climbing,
but has not found that to be true.
He wonders if there is  a ratio of snake length to pole circumference
which would enable him to solve the snake problem.  He has found some
information on exotic snakes, but of course is interested in Texas
snakes, since they are the ones eating the eggs..
