Do you kill snakes you find in your yard?

[smd58]

no, but the first snake i ever saw in my life, was killed with a hoe by my dad. little did he know that it would turn me into the snake collector i am. and after about 40 years he still dont get it.

Garter snakes are about the only thing I see around here. I have only seen bull snakes here twice. And one time I found a little brown snake and I have seen a similar one that was gray (baby bull snake?) and my dad has seen snake with bands, 3 colors but it was very dull. Don't remember what we thought it was. Nothing dangerous so no need to kill.

Its not me that kills the snakes in my yard its my four legged friends. Nothing could be worse then when they find a baby bunny nest

Never. In fact I just had a tiny little baby brown snake put up a heck of a fight to avoid being caught lol. I treated him for mites, showed him to my son so he wouldn't be afraid of wild snakes in the yard, and then we let him go behind some plants and a wood pile behind the garage. It was quite fun

Never if I come across any snake I let it be UNLESS it's venomous and could harm the people in the neighborhood, However I take it up in the mountains away from people and release it safely where it can't harm anyone and won't be harmed for being a snake

i dont believe in killing anything unless it is used for food. since i dont eat snakes i see no need in killing any snake. in north louisiana we have a large number of snakes. I simply give them their space and they always give me mine. however there have been a few cases when it was necessary to relocate a few away from populated areas.

I live in FL, it is easy to tell a dangerous snake from one that means no harm. If I know it is dangerous to my kids I will be sure it is gone. I do know people that will come and catch it for me so I don't have to kill it but if I had know other choice I would kill it to protect my kids. I have been raised in the country with a lot of dangerous ones and learned if you don't bother them then usually they will not bother you but I do believe it is better to be safe than sorry. But I will always try to get someone out to re-home it first.

I had a nest of Cotton Mouths under my deck two summers ago. I just threw 3 boxes of moth balls under there and they split and havent seen any since. No need to kill them
