Do you kill snakes you find in your yard?

[mooingtricycle]

Just an interesting observation.... Seems like most that are ABSOLUTELY against it are ones that live in areas that don't have hots, or don't have kids, or both.

The ones that feel this way and don't have kids... consider your neighbors kids.

I was a kid, and we have Timbers as well as Copperheads up here. Never had a problem! I knew that if i came across a snake that i couldnt identify, i would leave it alone!

I say, have some common sense, and check your yard before your kids play, if they are THAT much of a concern and you live in a very active area for snakes. Take some initiative! Why not be responsible for your childrens saftey, AND animals by preventing a problem, possibly before it starts?
