Real story, not a real snake....
Years ago, I was working in Alabama on a pipeline right-of-way project. We had two guys named Glen. We called them "White Glen" and "Black Glen". Well, Black Glenn was deathly afraid of snakes, so White Glen went out one night and bought a realistic looking rubber snake.
Needless to say the rubber snake showed up a few times on the job, until the foreman confiscated it. On the way home from Alabama, it was the foreman, Black Glen and myself in a work truck. The foreman asked Black Glen to hand him a map out of the glove box. Well, the rubber snake was right under the map. He looked at it, and then asked Black Glen to put it back.
Both the foreman and I saw it each time and wondered why Black Glen didn't say anything. Well, about a mile down the road, Black Glen starts convulsing like he's having a heart attack or a seizure.
We can hardly pull off the road in time, because Black Glen is trying to climb out of the window. It was all hilarious until it dawned on the foreman and myself that one of us were very close to having to give mouth to mouth to Black Glen if he had collapsed.
That rubber snake, or what's left of it, is somewhere along the north side of I-10 in Southern Alabama now...

I bet I have a friend who is more terrified than you.
I caught one in a slough one time. He was up on the road on his 4-wheeler. He immediately knew of my intent. I ran a hopped on mine. He took off, but it was him and another guy on an old 300. I caught up to them, threw aforementioned snake in between the two of them. He bailed off, only problem he had was the snake went with him. All I saw was elbows, assholes, and dust. He said every time he would open his eyes the snake was looking at him. He didn't speak to me for a while.

Yea I like shooting them. But not all of them. Let the king snakes live. They're helping kill the dangerous ones.

Ahh scaring people w snakes – so in HS I picked tobacco – we would see lots of snakes in the field and one day we caught a good size garter snake (3’ or so – again there are no poisonous snakes here) and put it in with the tobacco leaves. Back in the day girls/women would handle the tobacco before it was stitched onto a stick and hung to dry. We knew the ladies would not like the snake too much and this one behaved just right – seems it stayed in the tobacco, then when the girls sorted it the snake took off between 2 of them :) The guy hanging the tobacco though there was an axe murder based on the screams. Anyway girls walked off the job until the pickers came in from the field and we had to promised to never ever ever ever put another snake in with tobacco. Farmer was mad as hell at us on one hand but laughing with us under his breath at the same time … I was trying to date one of the girls at the time but the snake did not help out much. Needless to say at the harvest party at the end of the season a bunch of rubber snakes came out

Came home from church one day with my family and my mom who is terrified of snakes picked her feet up off the floor of the car like she always does when she sees a snake.. along with some screaming. My dad and I get out to look at it and to get it out of the way and we realize it's a rattlesnake though not very big. For some reason my dad didn't want to kill it but we decided to catch it. So went and got a shovel, a long stick, and a plastic container from the kitchen and we (mainly my dad because I was about 12) fought the snake and eventually caught it. Kept it for a few days and showed it off to some people and then went and let it go in the middle of no where. Had video of it all on my old phone but it went in the lake.

I have many, but probably the most entertaining included dynamite. I was working on a seismic drilling rig in the swamp during graduate school, when I caught a 5' rat snake off the side of a tree. I tried to sneak up on a fella to scare him, but he wasn't having it. He took the snake and threw it in the lap of a guy in an airboat making up a 12lb charge to send down the hole. The dynamite fella was so pissed he threw the 12lb charge, with the blasting caps installed, at us and threatened to blow the whole group up if we didn't tiptoe into his boat and remove the snake. As the snake thrower moved towards the boat to retrieve the snake I was in 5th gear running the opposite way through the swamp. They picked me up about a mile away. They had a good laugh, I didn't.

Went to summer camp in TN and was about 13/14. We stayed in real log cabins, no window screens, no doors just an awesome place.
Some of my cabin mates had food and stuff which always attracted the field mice. I was sitting on my bed one day on the 2nd floor and just so happened to glance over at a shelf. There was a 6 ft rat snake all coiled up about 2 feet away just staring at me.
I have never run so fast in my life and screamed like a little girl.
Once I calmed down we got a better look and safely removed it with a broom and string.

A few years back while at drill a friend caught a small water mocassin. He proceeded to turn a can of air (to clean a keyboard) upside down and allowed the liquid go into the snakes mouth. Eventually it froze the snakes head. he then smashed it on the ground breaking it into a few pieces. That was crazy shite.

As improbable as this sounds, I must try it. Might to it to a lizard this afternoon.
No, I won't eat the lizard, and I don't give a damn about the lizard population.

Saw a water moccasin on the banks of the pond when I was 4, went into the house and told my aunt. She picked up a .22 rifle and shot that fat bastard dead.
