why I don't kill snakes

King snake vs. rat snake

King snake vs. rat snake

Yep

The hogs have put such a dent in all the smaller wildlife, that snakes are becoming fewer by the day.

Here around the house, if my dog doesn't kill it first, I will. Copperheads that is. I have seen first hand what a copperhead bite will do. I don't want no part of that. Other than those, I rarely see any other kind of snake.
Rats and mice, that's what the cats are for!!!

Venomous and Non-Venomous snakes pretty much eat the same things. So, no point in keeping Venomous snakes around

Sure looks like a rat snake.

That's what I thought

Well said.

Great point...

I don't kill them for several reasons:

1. They are beneficial to the overall wellbeing of nature.
2. I'm a grown man and I'm not afraid of a little snek
3. Venomous snakes are nature's warning label and the deliverer of stupid prizes for playing stupid games.

I don't kill them, never understood that thought process. Using that logic, you might as well start cutting peoples heads off just because they might hit you their car one day.

Ants are beneficial to the overall well being of nature too. They don't need to be around my house either. Not afraid of snakes, Rats, bugs, or any other pest, but pest control is pest control.

Ants, spiders, mosquitoes, venomous snakes, scorpions, they all need to die.

And love bugs!!!!!

With 3000-something people killed on Texas roads each year you might be onto something...

Get bit by one and spend a month throwing up from the pain and you'll think differently maybe. I still ain't scared, but close to the house or camper and they get the hatchet.

Getting bitten because I did something stupid isn't likely to change my mind about an animal with a brain the size of a peanut. I don't need to get bitten to know how much it sucks.
