    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.

    Re: Do you kill snakes you find in your yard?

    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.

    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.

    Re: Do you kill snakes you find in your yard?

    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.

    Re: Do you kill snakes you find in your yard?

    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.

    Re: Do you kill snakes you find in your yard?

    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.
