I don’t think I would have attempted to catch it but, well, whatever. We had to kill a water moc that tried to come into the house in East TX once. Darned thing was not to be deterred either. My husband used a hoe (which was not very easy).
We had several dogs bitten by them and copper heads. Of course those are not nearly as dangerous as rattlers. We had one of our goldens desnaked when we lived in Midland, altho I don’t think that a lifetime effect. She did get bitten by a copperhead years later, guess she thought she could win that fight!
If it had killed one of my dogs, I’m afraid I’d have had no other choice but lethal revenge.
No, it wouldn’t have brought the dog back but grim satisfaction is a fickle, irrational thing.
Mega-ferrets on steroids.
[is it just me or did the narrator sound a bit light in the loafers?]
LOL
Back in the 70s I grew my hair long. And met up with some college friends from back east in an impromptu camp in the foothills of the Catalina range. There were between 4-6 groups hanging out there in the desert. Local cops were afraid we were some sort of Manson off shoot. We were just young people in between college and working for a living
Long story short. It was not my dog. The people whose dog was killed were the ones who begged me not to kill it. I don’t like snakes but can deal with them if need be in any number of ways. I respected
Their wishes
Are you serious?
I would’ve ripped that snake apart with my bare hands, if necessary.
My dogs trump all other life forms whether I love the other life forms or not.
I was in an artist supply store in Santa Fe NM. I went into the bathroom and at first glance I thought there was a bean bag chair in the middle of the room.
It was the store owners huge snake coiled up in there while it’s cage was being cleaned. I very nearly had a heart attack when my eyes/brain revealed to me that it was a snake.
The idiot owner should have locked the ladies bathroom door if he was going to put his snake in there!
Yeah, that was kinda dumb.
It does the whole ‘snake issue’ no good when owners are morons.
The local herp shop plainly states on the door that reptiles may be roaming loose before you even go inside so the faint of heart get fair warning.
[but it’s *so* cool when tortoises are contentedly plodding around your feet like little smiling tanks]...:)
If I’m lucky, I’ll get there and the sweet as sugar 18’ albino Burm will be out for her weekly stretch.
Usually not, though...it’s mostly geckos, monitors or iguanas out rambling around.
I do not “surprise” people with my snakes.
Occasionally a service person needs to come for the cable or laptop repair and I always ask them “Are you afraid of snakes?”
If the answer is yes, other arrangements are made.
Usually though, they won’t let me be until I drag out the Boa for their viewing pleasure.
[and Bob is *such* a show boater]
One guy worked for hours on a laptop with Dixie the Dumerils Boa wrapped around his waist, sleeping.
He was a cool dude.
:)
I love your dogs but I can’t say the same for your (or any) snakes. :(

Personal choice and all that.
