Youre entitled to your own opinion; however, i must say i strongly disagree with you on this one lol.
EDIT: also id like to add i only have ever messed with one hot. My grandparents live in NC and i was visiting them in the summer. My grandfather found a copper head in the barn and was gunna kill it. I used a pitchfork and scooped up and dropped the snake into a 5 gallon bucket and covered it quickly lol! I walked about 1/4 mile down the road and let it go in a corn field. Figured thered be plenty of mice in there for him to eat haha!
