snakes terrify me, I just assume ill stay away from them and they can stay away from me.
when I lived in Alabama went to a sale at my local hunting/ fishing store where they had vendors and provided lunch etc... and one of the vendors brought in some rattlesnakes that were 6" around I think..... he proceeded to tell me if I bought his snake chaps or boots I could test them out..... noooo thank you!

Some states also have no "open season" on any snake species, which sort of makes it illegal by default. I think that's how Missouri approaches it from a legal standpoint.Of course, getting someone to enforce something like that could be nearly impossible ;).Also -- even given how often snakes (venomous and non-venomous) are needlessly killed out of ignorance, I try to be reasonable and understand that there are situations where you cannot expect people to abide their continued presence (e.g. some idiot releases a "pet" Indian cobra in a residential area, the pythons in FL, etc.).Gene

Sent from my iPhoneVirginia actually protects its snakes pretty well. It is illegal to kill any species of snake unless doing so is the only way to avoid immediate personal harm.--On Wed, Sep 10, 2014 at 10:28 AM, Andy Thomas <andrs...@gmail.com> wrote:--I wasn't aware rattlesnakes were up here. I knew we had copperheads but thought that was the only poisonous snake in this area (NVA, DC, MD). Apparently that's wrong. I was also in Shenandoah this past weekend. Saw a large black king snake. I let him go one way and I went the other.I grew up in MS where rattlesnakes, moccasins and copperheads are all too common. My dad used to say (and still does) that the only good snake is a dead snake. While I don't mess with them when I encounter them in the woods, I can't say my heart breaks when I see a dead one. I grew up fearing rattlesnakes in the southern pine forest. And although it is true that they do avoid humans when they can, that should not be mistaken for timidity. They would just assume bite you as look at you. I've seen it and it's not pretty.
