re: Another snake thread spinoff who keeps venomous snakes...let's see em

The way to tell a venomous snake in the U.S. is just like I used to tell my "Yanquis" friends that would visit:
If it has cats eyes with a slender pupil, kill it or get the heck out of there!
If it has round black eyes then it is ok and leave it alone.
Exception is the Coral Snake, but they are so rare and non-aggressive. Look for the Black head if it might be a Coral though, then kill it. Don't want to kill a King Snake by accident
