Even on a snake forum you get a lot of dumb responses about snakes.
Even supposed snake people do not know the snakes that occur in their own backyard. how sad.
Some rattlesnakes are very delicate, when they are relocated they often times do not survive.
It should not be a matter of relocating a snake, but a matter of dealing with the fact that you live in a certain species' habitat.
I expect the general public to be ignorant when it comes to snakes, but "snake" people...LOL come on!
There are 10,000 venomous snake bites in the united states each year. 8 people die. Your odds are pretty good of surviving if you are bitten.
The majorioty of the bites occur in a situation where the human is touching or attempting to touch the snake...in other words they could've avoided the situation.
True, sometimes people do experience death from a venomous snake bite, but your odds are much better at dying from some other cause. You are 500 times more likely to die from lightening than a venomous snakebite in the United States.
So, even if you do not live in a venomous snake infested area, you should lock yourself and your family inside your home so that there is zero chance that anything you encounter will kill you.
