my wife spotted a 3' long speckled king snake in our front yard just as my 8 yr old daughter was about to step on it. Dang snake didn't flinch, but my daughter sure did. 
Haven't seen the snake again since and have no intentions of killing it if I do.

I have a pic on my photobucket account of some nonpoisonous snakes killed on the golf course a few years ago. Some old guys in front of us freaked out and the greens keeper killed them. Dumbasses made the course more dangerous.

Are you really so dim that you can't keep people straight? I don't give a frick about killing snakes. All I said was, you don't know one from another.

My Mom told me a story that her Dad kept a big arse rattler in a box in the front yard. It would rattle is arse off if someone walked close by. Some how a king snake got in and killed the rattle snake. This was way back in the later 1930's. Nice alarm.

What kind of snake is the one on the top on the ground?

Yesterday I was riding with dad In his golf cart when he dove off the side and grabbed this big snake. He was Goldish, with blacks and reds and coppers. It was big and scary. I was screaming to get away from it. Anyhow, it bit him right before he caught it. He thinks it isn't poisonous. Any chance it might be? He wasn't bleeding and said it had "lizard teeth". If a snake has lizard teeth does it mean it's not poisonous? All poisonous snakes have fangs?
(I'm worried about his hand. Last time he was sick he took the dogs antibiotics-he hates drs and will not go)

Venomous snakes have one sat of teeth and fangs,
non venomous ones have 2 sets of teeth.
I usually stay away from snakes with triangle heads and cat eyes. Not always venomous but I don;t take chances until I can open the mouth and check out the dentures....

So if it had "lizard teeth" it wasn't poisonous?
I've been looking at pics of snakes and I'm thinking it was a corn snake. But a lot of the pics look really different.

More than likely if it was venomous his whole arm would be swollen.
Not sure about lizard teeth but all have small teeth..

Some non-poisonous snakes will flatten their heads to imitate a poisonous one as a defensive mechanism. To their demise unfortunately, because it gets them killed by mistake. The eyes are the give away. Pit vipers have "cat eyes", while non-poisonous have round eyes. Pits also have a hood over their eyes. I know, I know, You'll check the eyes if there is anything left to see. All snakes are vital in varmint control, so it would be wise for all outdoors men to edumacate themselves, if not for the innocent snakes, for their soiled briches, bitches.
