No way would I have someone beat the snake with a shovel.

I was at my cousin's house last night and his BP is about 5 foot long and I had her around my neck and my girlfriend was freaking out. She was like if that snake bites you I'm going to have your cousin kill it,. I was like NO why if it bites me that would be my fault that it did so. I was like if you dont settle down and stop screaming its going to bite me, lol.
