I HATE SNAKES and think the best thing for them is a shotgun!

LOL, "Robin! , hand me that Bat-snake-repellent!" "Sure thing Batman!"

Only good snake is a dead snake, that's what I say..

I used my trusty machete on this one. can any of you snake experts tell me what kind this was ??

After I took this pic, I hacked it up into more tiny pieces.. then about 5 little birdies came walkin' up to me, just a chirpin' away.. a bunch of happy birds.. funny as @#$@#. It was these same birds, who were making a hell of a racket outside my son's window, that alerted us to this damn thing crawlin' up the side of the freakin' house ! once it was hacked to little pieces, all the birds were like "Hail to the snake killer!" LOL

LN I believe that is a common rat snake. The reason he might have been near your house is that you may have mice or rats running around and they can pick up on the smell of rodents. I must say they like bird eggs and birds too so your bird friends and rat friends will be happy. There are four kinds of venomous snakes in LA. Copper Head, Cotton Mouth (Moccasin) Rattle Snake and Coral Snake. They are easy to identify and the good snakes I choose to let live as they are doing me a great service.

Oh and the Water Head and the Copper Moccasin

We see those snakes in our barn from time to time. It usually has a rat or two in it and they like to feed there!!!! Which would be why I don't venture in the barn. T'belle does not like snakes and usually needs CPR after sighting one that is within 20 feet of her!!!

I'm with LN the only good snake is a dead snake. As Belle said she usually needs CPR after seeing one close, even though the snake may not be poison it can still make you hurt yourself trying to get away. A lot of people don't know which is which, so I kill all I see.
Another story: My sister is a nurse for home health, she went to visit this little elderly black woman one day. On the woman's dresser was a snake skin, she ask the almost blind lady if she knew the snake skin was there. The lady said yes and for her not to touch it because it was a sign. My sister said it was a sign, a sign for her to haul a**. The snake was in the lady's house and had shed it's skin there.

I usually don't kill a snake, lizard, or spider unless it's a dangerous one. They eat mice and insects and other annoying pests.

Strangely enough, I'm with Joe on this one, except for spiders....they all must die.
