No! I will not kill them I will relocate them. I do not have kids yet but I do have dogs and it is always in the back of my mind. With me having 30 plus Ball Pythons and 20 plus Bearded Dragons I don't think my dogs would know to be afraid of a wild snake. I would hope that they would start barking and and keep their distance from it. I hope! I could get Northern Copperheads and Timber Rattlers as far as the venomous stuff goes. I think I am more concerned about the four legged creatures that could crawl under my fence and give my dogs a disease.
