Do you kill snakes you find in your yard?

I don't even kill spiders I find in the house. I pick them up and put them outside. The only thing I kill are ants.

Not a chance. If I were to find a venomous snake in my yard, I would capture and relocate it to a suitable habitat.

I live smack in the middle of TX. I find Rattlesnakes, Copperheads, and Corals all the time. Never kill them though, Im a venomous lover. However, I might start knocking of some Texas Rat snakes. So tired of those guys, pushing out the kingsnake/great plains rat around my area.

out in el paso i see all kinds of venomous snakes. i usually avoid them but if they r somewhere they can be hurt or hurt someone or their pet i will call animal control. they just take them and release them into the desert

LOL, this is old!

Still haven't changed. Venomous / questionable snakes found in the yard are still introduced to the shovel and thrown in the water to be recycled.

I live in an area where the most dangerous snake I'm likely to find is a common garter snake. Snakes I find get picked up, shown to the roomies, then placed way out on the park land.

What is common TODAY might very well be gone TOMORROW,
Then your child might say dad whats a toad,snake,frog..
The big picture is the organism, Earth is in decline and man is killing it..
A big and brutal statement but if your in tune and have some age you'll likely agree..Extinctions occurr everyday and it can happen anywhere..
According to the public 99% of the snakes that crawl out of the water are
water moccasins/cotton mouths when theres numerous other species of bland colored water snakes..
So NO we don't..

S'why it's handy to be familiar with the local snake species.

im the same way i dont see snakes as a newsence. even the poisionis ones.

I don't, I usually just have lizards, which are fun to chase around the yard. However, if there was a snake in my yard it would most likely be a rattle snake, so I would find a way to contain it then call whoever it is that helps with this kind of thing.
