I do see the argument with kids. That makes a lot of sense. I do not have kids and therefore did not consider that. I would have to be in the situation to make that decision. For me right now though I do not kill them. I would be a little more hesitant moving a rattle snake than a copperhead though. I live in a pretty heavily wooded area though and I know even if I kill or move a snake there is just gonna be another one the next day. I think it just comes with where I am living and it is something I have to deal with. In all honesty there are so many more dangerous things to worry about.
