I said no.. I live in an area where the only snakes you really see are garter snakes or other small brown ones that aren't venomous... And if there were to be a venomous snake in my yard, I know that the local animal control has people who relocate them to safer areas, which would be a nicer option.

Of course I know to do what is needed if in the future there was literally a dangerous situation where my (future) child was confronted by a venomous snake and there was not the option to move it! Bleh! Hopefully I am never put in that situation!


I am just glad I am informed and know of all the snakes in my area! Unlike my parents... When I was younger we found a snake that had fallen into our pool, because it was in water they assumed it was a water moccasin. I remember it clearly... It was the prettiest snake I had ever seen! What they killed was a grey banded kingsnake! And I know of dozens of garters my family has killed.. This is why people need to be more aware of snake species and what is and is not dangerous! Yuck!
