To put it’s lights out was my first reaction, but it’s a small room, and it was hiding in the interior of a recliner chair. If you make king brown snakes angry, they can be very nasty - and quick - so it was better to call a bleeding-heart snake loving wildlife carer and let him take the risk. Worth every cent of the $50 donation to the volunteer.Last I saw of them both they were heading off into the sunset; please don’t release the snake anywhere near enough so that it comes back, I told him.
There’s really no accounting for why anyone would want a dangerously venomous snake to live...but then...I feel the same way about the (dare I say it?) R.O.P.
Amazing how some people have more compassion for vicious dangerous vile creatures than for innocent humans.
I used to kill centipedes in HI that were 10 to 12 inches long; two kinds - the brown kind and the ones with a lot of blue. Really (shudder) horrible. I used to have to kill them with an iron frying pan or whatever else came handy like a hammer.
I certainly don’t enjoy killing - I’m a vegetarian for crying out loud - but to kill dangerous creatures is a good deed.
