Leave wild snakes alone unless absolutely necessary...we all need them to survive & they don't belong to "Mr. Finders Keepers".
They have enough to deal with already in terms of survival (native predators & loose pets, habitat loss, climate issues, contamination
of habitat, etc) & they don't need to be harassed or captured by us...coachwhips make lousy pets anyway. They're sun & freedom-
loving souls, they need lots of space.
