Ha! That aint nut'n my lovely mate rescues snakes any kind of snake off of roads. I got her a special snake handler tool to encourage her not to do it by had. It must run in the family because I once saw her Granny grab a snake by the tail crack it like a whip, popping head open then go back to hanging laundry as if nothing happened. Those Texas country gals are not only good looking, critters don't scare them one bit.

I'm not thrilled with snakes either. But the fear is not as irrational as it is with spiders.

When we moved to North Carolina, I was cleaning out the backyard.

When I got to ground level and below of this rock pit I was wheelbarrelling rocks from, I found it was a snake pit.

I just grabbed my BBQ tongs and started collecting snakes into multiple rubbermaid boxes. Didn't even think about it.

As we went hiking and fishing, we brought a box to release.

Whereas with spiders ::monsters!::, I say kill them.

Now, if a snake happens into my house....the fish gutten knives will emerge.
