My only problem with snakes is I will not share my living or work space with them. :mad:

Couple months after moving to northern AZ, had a diamondback under the rocker on the patio. About 3 ft. Shovel took care of it. Started packing a ruger lcrx with shot after that for all my outdoor chores.
Have to say I prefer rattlers to our present copperheads. At least rattlers are polite enough to let you know you are too close. And spiders! I think there are 500 different types of spiders and 506 of them live in SC!

Only 3 spiders have fangs big enough to penetrate human skin.

NOTHING, creeps me out more than a snake
If ever see one that big..............DOA.
Why, oh why, did I open this thread!!!
I won't sleep tonight

I agree with you JAYDAWG! I have an extreme dislike of snakes.
Almost 40 years ago I was running some piping for a dental office in a crawlspace when a snake slithered in my coveralls. There wasn't room enough for both of us in those coveralls and I let the snake keep them. I came out of that crawlspace like I was on fire and wouldn't go back in until the dentist got an exterminator to get rid of the snakes.
My boss was not happy with me but I told her if she was so interested in getting that job finished she could do it herself. She then had to tell the dentist that I wouldn't complete the job until the snakes were gone

I saw a dandy snake crossing the road between wetlands this evening. Don't know what kind of snake it was BUT it reached 1/3 the width of the county road (16'+) and was quite obvious from 100 yards away. I was busy and didn't have time to check it out.

We had a few rats coming out of the watery wooded area behind us. I staked down a rat trap to catch them. This cottonmouth got caught in it. We have little garter snakes show up in the flower beds. Two days ago one was in the garage. Wife was not in a good mode when she saw it. I just chased it out.

Unless it's a Brother Snake, Garter, or Green snake it's swiftly DOA.
I had a healthy 3-1/2' copperhead about the diameter of my upper arm,(biggest I've ever seen) chase me out of a creek bed once on the hunting property, during a pre season weed eat/work/ scouting weekend.
The Mossberg I keep behind the seat of the truck made the woods a safer place that day.
And I figured the hawks could take up his slack.
And since he owed me a new pair of Fruit of the Looms.....
They can swim very fast, by the way.

I got an urgent call, about a snake. Nothing unusual for me.

But the lady was quite insistent that I immediately come & remove it. Apparently it had discovered the bird nest under the eve of her house, and was after the birds or eggs.
Yes, it was a black snake.
And while it was climbing around the window framework,, it was being observed by one of her cats,, inside the house,, in a basket casually resting & watching things.
Of course,, I immediately responded, got to the snake, gently captured it, to be relocated well away from the lady's house.

Here's a picture of it & the cat.

I think I told this before on another thread, but oh well, here goes. I grew up on a farm in southern Iowa back in the 50's. My Grand dad hated snakes and we had a farm dog that was very good at killing them. Ol Spot would dart in and grab them behind their head and a couple of violent shakes with his head and they were a dead snake. Well one day Grand dad was walking the gravel road by the house and he spied a big bull snake, so he yelled at Spot to get him. Well, ol Spot dashed in and got him by the neck and gave him some violent shakes and then let him fly. The bull snake flew through the air and wrapped around Grand dads neck! Oh boy, that was something to watch, I didn't know Grand dad could run that fast! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
