I’m not a fan of killing snakes . I do it because I have young kids . We watch our 18 month old niece . So if I don’t relocate them they get killed .
Heck this is my boy today at school with a bull snake .

Do you think killing the ones you see is doing anything to prevent a kid from being bit?
Just discussing, Im not ragging on you, just don't understand that reasoning.

“So, while it’s pretty hard to get bitten by a coral snake, they can deliver a dangerous dose of venom with just a quick bite. And while they are small snakes with small mouths, they can bite pretty much anywhere; they don’t need to get you between the fingers as you’ll sometimes hear. Any exposed skin is all they need.”Last edited by bullets13; 04-29-2021, 02:34 PM.

They are not fanged like most venomous snakes.
