Keep a watchful eye…just killed another snake
 

This little guy (about 4' long :eek: ) 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!

Why didn't you just capture and rehabilitate him? ;)

hey, we're occupying the snake's land. What else is he supposed to do? :p

What a ho.

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...

Did you just hoe the thing till it fell apart? Dont they get upset and bite?

No can do...I'm a Republican :D

alf, I pinned his head with a shovel, then held him with the hoe and then open a can of 'whoop ass' http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/burn.gif on him with the shovel http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/dead.gif he was striking at me the entire time...did I mention I don't like snakes? http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/nono.gif

Dude, i am glad there are no such things in the Pacific NW, with the way i golf, i would be dead if there were.

i just heard on the news a guy was bit by a rattler AFTER he had severed it head. gotta love the spirt of the fight in eem....

I do belive that there's a pacific nw rattler

just less of 'em

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...

Fukc the garden tools, 20'......shotgun BANG! what's up wit dat thang:D

Me no likey snakes........noooooooooooo likey. Then ofcourse it would reason that I have lots of them on my property:(

keep the skins, and make yourself some boots.

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.

How about snakeskin carry-on luggage?

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.

Man....

Do you live in the wrong part of the world. The west and southwest are home to spiders, scorps and snakes. They were here long before us. We are the interlopers.

"I dont like spiders and snakes, and that aint what it takes to love me,
like I wanna be loved by you"

Then there are 'Bark Scorps' which live mostly in Mexico but also in the SW desert. They are very small and almost clear but a little whitish. Found much of the time in chunks of cactus skeleton laying around and fire wood, etc. One nasty SOB and haved been lethal to kids. I think there may be a neruo-toxin component but also very painful.

Man the rattlers here must be dumb or something. I've come across three in the last year while jogging and none of them gave a warning shake. I'm pretty fat and slow so luckily I spotted them before placing a foot in a bad spot.
