Well for the summer I am redoing our entire backyard. Retaining wall, drainage system, sprinklers, fence, etc. The only problem is that occasionally I will encounter snakes. The non-venomous ones I just pick up and take out of the yard. What do you guys think I should do about the venomous snakes? The only ones I have seen are copperheads. Very very rarely we will see a rattle snake which I just won't deal with. I don't have any tools to handle hots, no snake hook etc. My dads solution is very simple however I don't really like it. What should I do?
