I understand most people are scared of snakes. I got no problem with what they do but I thought this was funny. I usually try not to kill any non poisonous snakes.

My neighbor was out back with a shovel and had just killed a good sized rat snake. A lot of fuss and shovel swinging and the job was done. I asked my neighbor why he killed a little rat snake, (really pretty big) just giving him grief and he said he didn't like snakes. I said "I don't like Alabama fans but I don't kill every one I see". He's a Bama fan... You should have seen the look on his face!

I thought it was pretty funny, I don't care who you are!!

That is funny, also very good logic. I have only seen (and killed) three poisonous snakes in 32 years at the lake. All were Copperheads and very close to the house. I did rescue a king snake a few weeks ago that got tingled up in some bird netting around tomato baskets. Large Rat snakes are creepy, but you have to remember what they eat, rats & mice. Which would you rather have?

exactly. I've had to kill banded water snakes when we have had kids swimming. I also killed a cottonmouth in our laundry room last year. Now that will shake a guy up. I still don't walk in the house after a week away without the lights on.
