I've killed more snakes than you lately.

[iamnotafraid]

Let's see:

1. Moccasin hiding under a pot. "Death by hoe".

2. Moccasin near back door of house. "Death by stick".

3. Moccasin crossing over our driveway. "Death by Vehicle".

4. Chicken Snake, even though not poisonous, he was too close to my head. "Death by hoe".

5. Not sure on this one, possibly a Ground Rattler. "Death by mower".

Anyone top that?

[Macfanforever]

Wow,I've been lucky so far,What part of the woods you live.My Mom ran over a snake ages ago with a lawnmower,it was diced up,About 18 years ago my ex-neigbor had a python in her apt above me,she gave me a chance to pet him, it was cool.

[jenniferuk]

You win! Wow. I think you qualify for your own Discovery Channel or Animal Planet show.

How great of an increase is this over an average month/summer/etc?

Not allowed to kill them over in Australia, they are a protected species, even though most of them are poisonous. We are supposed to call the conservation people who send out the snake catcher!

haha awesome!!
I grew up in the country, next to a corn field....
lets just say that a fair share of corn snakes had "accidents" that I may or may not have been involved in.
They slipped and fell on a hoe one or ten times.

I'm more of a spider killer myself.

That's shocking. I'd move..

I once saw an elderly woman kill a snake in her front yard with a machete. It was... disturbing. ;)

Macfan, I do live close to the woods. Near a few swamps too.

Jenniferuk, My own Aninmal Planet show....lol, that's funny.
And is it an increase over normal? Yes. We've had more rain than usual
it's got them moving.

Golddustdrummer, "Spider Killer", you should see my other thread about that.

MylittleD, I can't move. I guess I'll live and die in Dixie.

We have a farm with a few ponds, so there's always snakes to be found. I've
even stepped on a few barefooted (don't that sound country?). You'll find that
you have super powers when you step on a snake. I used to hunt them when
we had the time. I don't like hunting animals, gave that up many moons ago.
Just felt like it was wrong, unless you were doing it for food. To this day, I have
no idea why anyone would want to hang a dead animals head on a wall. But snakes
are different. I don't go out of my way to find them anymore, but if I see one....
off with his head.

[GODDESS6]

snakes seriously freak me out~ even the garter(*sp) ones that are totally harmless, one slithered over my foot in the yard & i fainted, scared this **** out of me~ i have snake nighmares too~

but i love to watch the animal planet show where this guy goes out trying to find anaconda's, my god are those things huge, their heads are bigger than mine~ now that's a snake & it's on tv, that is about as close as i can get to a snake:lol:~

I am the same way! I find the shows fascinating, but I am deathly afraid of snakes. Last year at the zoo I very briefly and quickly touched a harmless snake (corn snake, I think) that a keeper held. That was huge for me. I only did it as I was with a 3 yr old who thinks snakes are 'so cute'. I've tried not to pass my fear to the children, but it's not easy...

[GypsyBlueEyes]

lol...I'd have to move if there were that many snakes in my yard...I have a snake phobia. Even seeing them on tv makes my heart race and I get nauseated.

where do you live? Yuck but hey, dead snakes are the best kind so keep at it, my friend!!:D

[estranged4life]

I like snakes, in the area where I reside is what is called the rattlesnake capitol of the US.

People freely have shows where they catch/handle/display live snakes for those who have the heart to be around 'em.

I cannot ever recall a time I have killed a snake, I usually catch 'em and release back into the wild (As I do with my fave critters scorpions).

[iamnotafraid]

I live down South in Dixie.
And I've had a Moccasin chase me.
All I had that day was a Crossman Pellet/BB gun,
in other words "one" shot. And no, I'm not Davy Crockett.
But I do have a coonskin cap (that's actually the truth).

Yes, it chased me. It was a very dark colored moccasin. The darker colored
ones seem more aggresive. It was on one of our pond dams and I guess he didn't
want me there.

Rattlesnake run over in Vegas: "Death by ho!"

[Ghost_Tracker]

Anyway - My hand to God, we had a boa constrictor in our backyard once - HUGE one. Right on the border between the yard and where the woods starts. Obviously it was somebody's pet that had gotten out. My parents called Animal Control and everybody called everybody and pointed fingers at each other and fought over whose job it was to come get the thing, and eventually somebody showed up and took it away. Interesting experience for them, at any rate.

[mylittledemon]

My parents called Animal Control and everybody called everybody...

I think I saw that once. Yeah! On an episode of COPS. :lol:

;)

[iamnotafraid]

I would have called Remington.

On a side note, my brother got bit and scratched by a squirrel today.
He had been a pet of my brother's, but we let him go in our yard. Well
I guess he's got a little wild since he's been out. I guess he's been talking
to those country squirrels, and their country ways are rubbing off on him.
The day before, I had handed him a Nutter Butter sandwich cookie. He loves
those. Anyway, if he bites me he will suffer the same fate as the snakes.

[iamnotafraid]

It's kind of late to be killing snakes...BUT!

My nephew and I were about to go outside a few days ago,
and I looked down on our front porch and guess what was
crawling across the bricks? Some big ole snake. And once
again.....................DEATH BY HOE.

March 12, 2010 while mowing grass (yes, MARCH) I saw a "cut up" moccasin.
Though fresh-cut, it wasn't from me...hmmm.....

[Aussie W/Heart]

All my life I had a massive phobia with snakes, 6 months ago I freaked out when my 14yr old son walked in the house with a 6ft Australian coastal python around his neck, he tormented me for over 2 months, wanting me to touch/ nurse/ have it around my neck , he thought it was hilarious hearing me scream everyday he brought it out of it's cage, often he would sneak up behind me when I was doing the dishes or in the pantry, I would scream & almost pass out, it escaped from it cage I was petrified for 2 DAYS until it was found, which was hiding near my bedroom:distress::distress::distress Anyway not long after I thought I would give reverse psychology a go, as still my son was getting a kick out of scaring the $#@T out of me. I finally worked up the courage to touch it, after a few days I was OK with holding it, now I love, appreciate & respect pythons.. our deadly snakes we have downunder, I don't mind them dying from the hoe!!!

[Macfanforever]

wow.I've have not seen any this year over here.I remember when I was little, my mom sliced and diced a good size snake with the riding lawnmower,I dont recall what it was ,but it shot out of the mower deck like pieces of hot dogs.Say about 18 years ago ,my ex-neighbor had a python snake around her neck,boy it was a big sob.
I was not afraid of him,but ,I had nights of thinking of it coming into my apt and cuddle up with me in bed.

[estranged4life]

of rattlers in my neck of the woods, but to my surprise I have yet to see scorpions...Weird.

[fringed n fab]

Here in Florida you see all kinds of critters. I was stupid and not thinking last night up in the morning and opened the front door and as soon as I did, the hairiest spider I've seen since being here, ran in. It's like they wait at my front door at night wanting in at the chance. And don't think about leaving somewhere during the day and forgetting to leave on any outside lights when coming home at night. I've had to immediately run inside and flip on the lights as soon as I turn the key. And quickly slam the door and pray no unwelcome visiters followed me in. If I'm careful at the door, nothing seems to get in otherwise and no other problems. But you do have yard snakes here, especially outside the city in more scrubbier/woodsy areas and I have seen a very tiny baby scorpion but the ones here aren't harmful unless you have allergic reactions to stings. I just stay clear of Florida critters if at all possible and a screened lanai is an outdoor must here.

[MissLadyLoki]

Here on Long Island, we're kinda boring with our wildlife (OK, I heard about deer problems further out east from me), but we do sometimes see a garter snake minding it's own business now and then. Now, our funny wildlife thing is definitely the squirrels I get in my backyard. Y'see, we give bread to the birds outside, but the squirrels seem to enjoy eating it too, and while doing so, they tend to look inside, giving a look that says they want an iced tea. Seriously.

[iamnotafraid]

I killed a big one last night.

I've had encounters with southern squirrels. Once, I was at Disney World and had gotten into Epcot one morning via the International Gateway (it's a entrance at the World Showcase for the park that people at the Epcot area resorts use). As me and my parents (yeah, they're Disney fanatics) were rushing through the yet-to-be-opened World Showcase so we could get to Soarin' before it got too crowded, a squirrel came darting out of the bushes. What followed was a stand-off between me and the squirrel, and the squirrel won. Seriously.

Fall break for the kiddies was last week so my girl midget spent some quality time with her grandpa...in backwood Alabama obviously. The snake was in the birdfeeder and had a bird half way down it's throat, but not for long! Grandpa gave it a swat and out went the bird. Then the midget shot it with a BB gun. Then they took this picture. It makes me cringe a little.

I'll tell her. We're not running out of snakes around here anytime soon so I don't think we can help you out much.

The hunting day was not over for them after the snake. They also shot a couple squirrels. Guess what was for dinner? Nice and crunchy "chicken." Kids always think its chicken. ha ha. In general though anything that gets killed (within reason and you know snakes are within reason) get's cooked and ate.

Ya know, I was raised on hunting and fishing and doing all the other things you do when you're raised by a dad. I couldn't wait to move away from there and be as girly as possible. I didn't eat meat for several years. Now that I"m back around I really do appreciate it and am glad my little lady gets to kill stuff with grandpa...but she also gets to be girly with me.

that has taken up residence near my trash bin. It must've sprayed the trees because I could smell the scent when I was outside playing with a green praying mantis the other day. I love praying mantis', they kill those damn annoying crickets in my yard.

I haven't seen any scorpions as of late :( but I did catch myself a millipede earlier, I placed it near some dead leaves so it should have its own 'all you can eat' buffet.

And my 'black widow' still has her nest up on the South side of the house, she's my fave!

[jaycee]

If you'll believe it, I had a spider crawling on my leg a couple of weeks ago when I was in, of all places, the shower! :shocked: After being stunned for a few minutes (let alone worried it had already bit me) I brushed it off onto the bathmat and later captured it in a jam jar. The day after I took it to college to be identified, but I ultimately never bothered, as it didn't seem to have bitten me, so I instead disturbed a few friends by showing it to them. After arriving home from college I threw it in the backyard. :)

Two more snakes bit the dust this week.
One on the back porch, one under a fig tree.

There seems to be two Biblical references
there. Intentional?

And not for the faint of heart (animal lovers),
because there was a reason for killing this creature.
I killed a huge alligator snaping turtle this past week.
Of all places, he was coming up my driveway. He must
have thought he'd take a shortcut to one of our ponds.
I changed his mind.

Killing reptiles is not cool, im sure a snake catcher in your area would be happy to relocate your unwelcome visitors...
Im curious so what was your reason for killing 2 snakes and 1 snapping turtle:shrug:, it better be a good one, eg: like they were going to kill then eat you first:D

[estranged4life]

I was out at the lake (Ft.Cobb State Park) and saw a water moccasin with a dead shad in its mouth - took a small round rock and nailed it off the top of the snakes head! Didn't kill the snake but it was rather amusing to watch it swim off...Around the first of the month I was at the lake in my usual spot (Picnic Table #5 at Caddo Hill) and saw a baby water moccasin swim up between my feet and it fled away when I moved. :thumbsup:



Haven't seen any Praying Mantis' lately, but about a week ago I played with a female scorpion on my porch - I let her live since it was obvious she would be having lil' stingers very soon. :D

Oh, I don't think it's cool. The snapping turtle was killed because
they get in our ponds and eat the fish. Especially one the size of
ole' al. Water Moccasins are very poisonous and need to be
killed. Other non-poisonous snakes just need to stay out of my
yard if they want to live longer. And Alabama would need an
army of snake catcher/wranglers to keep up with all the snakes
around here. Plus I can't imagine waiting on a wrangler to show
up.

Estranged4life, quit playing with those scorpions. I haven't seen
a praying mantis in awhile.

[WildHearted]

This thread makes me really sad, honestly. I understand feeling the need to potentially kill venomous snakes for your own safety (although if it was not a detrimental situation, you could always call and have it relocated), but it always disturbs me to see people basking in the glory of killing harmless animals.

Sorry. Snakes aren't evil. Honestly, we should respect them - they manage to survive and thrive in almost every part of the world without any arms or legs... pretty awesome if you ask me.

[HomerMcvie]

^^^I understand your point.

I was raised to live in sheer terror of them, and I'm still deathly afraid of them. I do kill them, but less frequently than I used to. I've seen 4 so far this summer, and haven't killed one, yet. I almost feel like I'm getting used to seeing them, and it's not quite the heart attack it used to be!

But I still HATE them. All of them.

I completely agree with this. There's no reason to kill an animal for the sake of it. And even less reason to blow a trumpet about it and take pride from it.

[estranged4life]

again yesterday, playing with snakes in the water - My older sis told to "not mess with them, I could be bit"...

I responded to her "There's cute girls out here, I hope one of them bites me instead..." :D

[Macfanforever]

I have not found any snakes in the yard yet but I happen to wake up a big fat worm at lease 6 inches and 1//8 to 1/4 inch fat when I was digging in the back yard.I jumped when I seen him.Hahahah.LOL I let it craw away.

WildHearted & SilverSprings,
Basking in the glory and blowing my own trumpet

I would think anyone would "get" that this thread is
more about making fun of myself than actually about
killing snakes. I'm not a hunter, and have never cared
for it. I stopped hunting over 30 years ago, with the
exception of snakes in the yard or around ponds. I'll
admit to enjoying shooting, or liking guns. But that's
about it.

All I ask is for people to read the titles or comments I
make - and to just think. Now it's guitar playing time!

I just don't agree with killing animals, that's all. Even in self defence. There are ways and means of protecting yourself without ending an animals life. That's all I'm getting at.

And SilverSprings,
I know you love animals and I respect you for it.
But there are times when animals have to be killed,
or put down. Living on a farm you get a different
perspective than most do on animals. I could give
you situations where some animals had to be taken
care of, but that would just make you and some
others sad. And I'd rather people laugh at the things
that go on in my life than to bring them down.

Another day, another snake. But this time
is was by accident. While mowing the lawn
today I ran over something. Thought it might
be a pine cone or something like that by the
noise the mower made. I stopped and looked
back to see a big ole' snake all chopped up.

Since you guys have made me feel guilty about
the killings, I thought I'd use the snake in a
positive way. So I picked up the chopped pieces
and made nail soup with them. Mmm mmm good.

the killings, I thought I'd use the snake in a
positive way. So I picked up the chopped pieces
and made nail soup with them. Mmm mmm good.



You crack me up!!!! :lol::lol:

You crack me up!!!! :lol::lol:

Thanks, I think...

I should have saved you some of the nail soup.

Today I looked out my front door.
And in the yard I saw a rat running
around a rabbit. The rabbit just
kindly moved on about his business
of eating whatever was green in the
yard or North field. The squirrels
mostly stayed to themselves.

Now you ask what about the snakes?
Of course I have a snake story for you.
But it seems I must introduce a new
animal to you. One that I have not
written of before. They can be very
dangerous. These four legged creatures
have tusks. You did see Old Yeller?
Yes indeed, wild hogs. Or more likely,
a mix of wild boar and domesticated pigs.

My uncle has always liked hunting them.
So he comes over and we walk through
the fields down near the swamp where
Amos Moses once lived. Those pigs have
been eating our crops and they must pay
the price.

On the way down to the swamp guess what
my uncle stepped on? You guessed right,
a big ole moccasin. My uncle seemed to
have a spring in his step. Luckily we had
took the precaution of taking what I like to
call the chopper. The snake is no more.

As for the pig, well that's another story...

[iamnotafraid]

My mother's clothes dryer quit working so I went
by to take a look. It sits on her back porch, so at
least this story takes place outside so to speak.

A press of the "on" switch and the dryer doesn't
turn, so I have to take the back panels off to see
what's the matter. After a thorough cleaning I
make my way into the exhaust port right after
the fan. Couldn't see anything from the way the
exhaust was angled. Time for the "mirror" treat-
ment. I'd thought about reaching my hand up
in there but didn't want to pull out a dead rat
with my bare hands.

What did the mirror reveal you ask? One big
ole' snake. He had been tangled up in the fan
for a few days. And you'd think he would have
been dead - but no! I poked him and he moved.
I used my MacGyver handbook and found an old
coat hanger and used it to unwrap and pull him
out of that space.

Though his end wasn't PETA friendly, it certainly
made for an interesting adventure.

It sounds like he wanted to keep warm but he went alittle to far and got into the fan.

Have some kitty cats around like that vid I posted in the share thread.

I watched that video. It was hard not to laugh. But,
if I had a cat, there's no way I would have let him"play"
with that alligator. That was crazy dangerous.

Yes that alligator would just take one gulp the kitty will be gone.

I guess he was not in the mood for a fluffy fur ball for lunch that day so he said see you later to the kitty.

As I was raking leaves today .I accidentally raked over a Garter snake as he/she was trying to keep warm on this cold day.

He gave me some time to photograph and vid clips before he return home.

I handled my ex-neighbors python years ago which was cool but looking at this garter which make him a size of a worm comparing against the python.

He was vary slow going back home which I cant blame him after a rake going over his head and body and disturb from a nice warm home.I hope he will be OK.

Since I against animal killings No I dont want to knock him off with the rake.Let him live.

That's a gorgeous snake. I think snakes are amazing, and I'm also against killing animals. We don't get many types of snakes over here. We do have adders in the dunes at the beach, and grass snakes are fairly common, but that's about it.

A House In Canada Was Infested With Over 100 Snakes, Residents Shockingly Do Not Burn It Down

Snakes on a plain! No, seriously, what is going on in Regina. posted on Oct. 21, 2014, at 11:41 a.m.

A family near Regina, Saskatchewan, recently discovered 102 snakes slithering along various "cracks" around their country home.

An actual snake found in the family’s home.

According to the local Salthaven West wildlife shelter (who initially got the phone call), the family first found an infestation of garter snakes in their stone basement. But as they started searching, they uncovered a slew of tiny snakes slithering in various cracks and crevasses throughout the entire house.

“They were starting to end up everywhere in the house,” Megan Lawrence, the Director of the Regina wildlife shelter, told CBC News. “They were in tight spaces: Cracks in the floors, cracks in the walls, between boxes, underneath things — anywhere they could get into basically.”

The Salthaven West shelter counted 56 snakes in this batch, and posted the image to their Facebook page.

But as they started to capture and contain some of the unwanted house guests, they found even more. “We just were, you know, picking up boxes and things off the floor and just found them and just caught them by hand,” said Lawrence.

Apparently snakes hibernating in Canadian homes is common this time of the year.

The Royal Saskatchewan Museum’s Head of Research and Collections says they get a lot of calls about snakes wriggling into peoples’ homes to seek warmth: “The snakes know winter is coming.”
