“Go the other way, snakes do not attack people, that’s all a myth,” said Perrotti.
I stopped reading there.... I have personally had water mocassins see me from the other side of a creek then swim across to pursue me....there are some very agressive snakes.
That stated, most try to avoid people....even large timber rattlers.....
But why bring in any poisonous snakes? Get rid of all of them.....help populate with rat snakes if there is a rodent problem....
Water mocassins have a mind of their own. I’ve seen them go after people too. They’re very territorial.
