No...but I live on 10 acres so there are plenty of field mice to be had.

Thank. God it didn't bite you in the vagina before you killed the dangerous serpent.

I hate snakes....HATE them. But I still wouldn't kill one of these. I guess it's not obvious to everyone that it's not venomous and for the most part harmless? I only kill moccasins and copperheads because I have a 3 year old and don't want them slithering around our yard.

I only hate them when they surprise me. Then I only hate them for the lump in my throat. I hate that sensation.

Serious question, what do yall carry to dispatch snakes when you are out in the yard?

Im on an acre and a half, but in a neighborhood so open carry 410 isnt an option and i dont feel like strapping a hoe on my back middle ages style so looking for other options.

Long way to make it back to the garage and those bastards scoot pretty quick, but its been a bad year for copperheads and I feel like I need to help put the local population back in line before one pops my daughter or moron dog.

Probably non-venomous.

Usually stick around for the killing.

Pretty simple really...some people hate spiders, some people hate roaches, some people hate hogs, and some people hate snakes. Of these animals, snakes are probably the most likely to cause serious bodily harm.

I don't hate snakes like I used to, but they still scare the shite out of me if I get surprised by one.

I found a 5' rat snake skin in my camper at the deer lease last month. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do about it.

Is it true that putting out moth balls will deter them??

A you can pick up that skin and show your friends, or you can just throw it away. I bet you haven't seen many rats or mice around, have you?
