Dream of snake, backyard, balcony

--- I was on the balcony with my two dogs. I heard that my older brother had gotten me a third dog that would be arriving. I remember going to the backyard, and under the stairs I saw a large, calm, brown snake. I realized that this was what he had gotten me. Then it somehow disappeared, and I started looking for it. I remember killing small snakes by stepping on them; they seemed to turn into lizards. I saw my snake again in the backyard, where there was white fiber. In white water, it was together with other different snakes. ---
