    I sure thought about skinning it real quick and throwing it on the mini just as a gag. You never know when PETA is watching though. It sure crossed my mind heavily.

    I agree with @NPHuskerFL. Let it roam or relocate it. I kinda got a thing for snakes as long as they don't threaten me.

    To be clear and concise I neutralize poisonous snakes that are an imminent threat. Basically if it's in my yard. I have a family to protect. That's the bottom line.

    Non poisonous....enjoy the woods and eliminate rodents, poisonous snakes, etc. They are always welcome.

    I don't know much about snakes, but wouldn't killing the non-venomous ones leave more food for the venomous ones to move in on?

    I have a very deep fear of snakes myself. Luckily I had already taken my medicine when I encountered him. Had I not my heart may have quit.

    Snakes have never bothered me other than for the surprise factor. OTOH I found this big Wolf spider inside my small egg and that made me jerk my head!

    I'm just the opposite. Spiders do not phase me at all for some reason. A snake however will cause me to hurt myself!
