To impress me with such a nice snake, you would catch it alive by hand, take a few quality photogaphs up close from various angles and then release in feild. As shown, cowardice.

Good idea but I doubt they would take the time to publish it. Keep the tradition going.

There are so many poisonous snakes out there and kids like to play with snakes, they could be seriously or fatally injured by harmlessly picking up a toy in the yard. Less snakes makes a safer environment for everything living. Go on Craigslist and get some cats that somebody wants to give away for the rodent control. My cat is an excellent hunter. Last time I saw a mouse she was eating it. And she don't bother the chickens nor steal eggs or scare me to death. She avoids the kids and plays with the dog. I couldn't ask for better mouse control. I don't have to worry about rats.

I'm proud to call myself a coward when it comes to snakes.

I know i'm not the only one. Last thing I want to walk up on is a snake. I don't reach under my hens for eggs. I pick them up very carefully in case she's sitting on one. My chickens alert me when one is around. They are cowards too.

Well...I'm with the group that would have simply moved it elsewhere, but that would have been AFTER being revived from my heart attack...lol.

Although I don't have automatic fear of snakes, it's still scary to almost step on one or discover one in an unexpected place. My phobia is spiders, but I try not to kill them (at least if DH is around to transport them outdoors)...

Snake in my coop eating my eggs I don't think so. Here's another harmless snake that ate a fake egg.

I've always loved this section of the Forum. Because you always have those few that love to act all self righteous.

And btw way people if you would actually read what was originally wrote and not just looked at the pretty pictures you will clearly see my "husband" killed the snake not me. I'll have to let him read the posts after this weekend is over since it's our work weekend. Tell him how he goes out there and works the streets trying to keep it safer for others but he's a coward cause he killed a snake!!

Whatever!!

I had a Phoenix roo that would follow a snake all over the place sounding off his alarm till I killed the snake and got rid of it's slithering body. He wouldn't shut up till it was gone. Fine with me because at least It wasn't a surprise for me to find. Unfortunately, he's living somewhere else. I lost a duckling to a snake bite, a water moccasin. My grandson chased it up a tree. He didn't know what it was. If there where no snakes he wouldn't had put himself in danger to chase it away from the birds.

I keep shovels and hoes around the yard for such reasons as to have one handy if needed.

It depends on the spider for me. Brown recluse and black widows are automatic squishes. Ugly spiders that would give me a heart attack if on me gotta go too but there are very few I let live. I don't know what they're called but they eat alot of ants. We have ants for them to eat so they can have at what I don't kill off. I just don't let them over populate.

We have all been bitten by brown recluse, several times and prefer they didn't exist at all, like snakes. My daughter on the other hand loves snakes and I think it's mainly because I don't. She's 31 and still rebellious. She gets Boas and lets her small kids play with them wrapped around their necks, roam loose in the house till we threaten to either get rid of it or we'll kill it ourselves or call DCS.

Snakes dont bother me(unless its dangerous to humans..)... i would have just moved it.
BUT if that was an itty bitty spider...yep... *smoosh!*

Everyone has their own fears...
