We apparently don't have that law here. When we first bought our place, the creek bank was heavily overgrown creating a haven for cottonmouth water moccasins. They grow quite large and are aggressive. We killed a goodly number of them until we cleared the brush from the creek banks. We haven't seen one for 5+ years. We still have several variety of harmless water snakes, but those don't bother us.Joey Bloggs said:
Yeah the Copperheads are much less venomous, and more timid than the Cottonmouths. We have Timber Rattlers here, they are pretty ferocious and very aggressive.
Not against the law here either, thank goodness!Joey Bloggs said:
Yes, the three of us got a good look at it (would have preferred not to have)! I looked it up on the internet for matching images. matches it exactly! It is a big one too. about the size of my wrist.Joey Bloggs said:

I have a little 410 shotgun that is actually called a "Snake Charmer" It's a good all round varmint gun and easy to handle. I like it because it's single shot and won't go off unless you mean for it too.copperhead said:
Legal, smegle.....kill the blasted thing!
We have these locks, too, but without the knob on the inside. Just did not want 'helpful' guests locking out everyone else.Last Fall I cleaned the kitchen pantry out from top to bottom. Everything was organized and in its proper place. At this time I did not have the keyless self locking door locks which are now on all main doors. So there I was late Fall and needing to grab something from the bottom pantry shelf and I reached in without looking and grabbed a big ole snake. I screamed like a Catholic school girl. I knew it came in from one of the multitudes of friggin riggin guest that are so lazy they block the doors open to remove there luggage and never close the doors back up. Schlage locks have become my best friend, unique in that the pin deactivates from within the unit so no jammed up sliding bolts. Took less than three hours to install and best part they relock in five seconds..
The ingredients are Napthalene and Sulphur. Napthalene is the key component of moth balls. Make your own.Sunshine said:

BTW, I'll have you know, Catholic school girls do not scream in the manner to which you referred. We let out a God-awful holler like the sainted nuns taught us for fending off boys with octopus hands. And we would have strangled that snake with our rosary beads. And not missed a Hail Mary.
