Rolly,

Why the need for a website?
Take it from me, it isnt rocket science.
Ensure that you use wire that has a smaller gap than the smallest snake in your area.
Bury that about 18 inches into the ground and extend the same distance up the posts.
Then use normal chicken wire.
It is very rare that a snake will take a chook....mostly eggs, and the rats will take more eggs than the snakes, trust me you cant rat proof a chook pen.
Rarely will you ever see either animal in the pen, so stand a square mouth shovel nearby just in case.
If they show the head whilst your in their its death by misadventure im afraid.......theirs not yours:D

Cheers
