Keep a watchful eye…just killed another snake

This little guy (about 4' long ) was curled up about 3 feet from the front door. I killed another one (about 2’ long) 3 weeks ago. Snakes and spiders give me the willies…me no likey!







Stay safe.

Why didn't you just capture and rehabilitate him?

Damn...you chopped him up too much to make a nice belt. Still, might be enough for a nice hatband. Hope you kept the rattle...

No can do...I'm a Republican

alf, I pinned his head with a shovel, then held him with the hoe and then open a can of 'whoop ass' on him with the shovel he was striking at me the entire time...did I mention I don't like snakes?

Skin it, pin it, salt it and throw it up onto the roof for a few days....
You'll have a nice tanned snake skin

One year I killed eleven of them in six weeks within 30 feet of my rural cabin. I had been excavating for septic and water lines and I guess the vibration woke them all up. About five were just little guys but they are the most dangerous since they can't control the amount of venom the inject...just a full dose each time. Older ones can vary the dose.

Yes, you can get 'bit' by a beheaded one. You should bury the head so dogs don't get to it, and get injected as they chew on the thing.

That one will make a nice hat band...

i like the early warning system on those guys. i have seen hundreds, and they have all let me know to back the eff off. i only blasted one, because my dumb dog at the time thought it was a chew toy. snakes dont bother me a bit. but i dont blame people that jack them up for safety. especially with kiddies playing around.

Leading cause of death in children under 12 in the South West...or so I heard from a CDC report a few years back. Also, about 70% of bites are cuz guys a f'ing with them/showin' off...."hold my beer and watch this!" kinda thing.

Easy to believe.
