I was walking down to get the mail, and spotted this guy laying out in my driveway:



Shot him just behind the head with a .22 (was aiming for the head, but the rifle isn't the greatest). Afterwards my nephew showed up, so I gave it to him. He said he was going to skin it and make a plaque or something.

This is actually the first time I've seen a Diamondback out here. I've seen Pygmy Rattlers, Copperheads, Corals, Cottonmouths, and various non-venomous snakes but none of these. It's kind of exciting, though in a slightly scary way.

 

who wants to call PETA? lol

i hate snakes... with a passion

 

My wife called her mother last Sunday night , seems like last Fri. night she found a 5' long Rat Snack laying in the middle of her hallway in the house.

 

A rat snack, huh? I assume I could pick some of those up at Pet Supermarket? But at 5' long those must be some huge rats..

 

God I hate snakes!!!!

I hope texas doesnt start shoving those bastards up here, it' bad enough they cant keep thier armadillo herds corraled......

 

I hate snakes with a passion, last time I went fishing up north I had to drive through a huge area of snake pits. Just gardner snakes but damn, there were thousands dead on the road and did I get my share of them crossing the highway.

Last time I went chicken hunting had one slither right past me, blew that SOB to bits

 

The only good snake is a dead snake. God they creep me out. I hate em!!

 

I am with the majority here. I cant stand them. Just that picture creeped me out and now I am going to have trouble sleeping tonight.

 

it would suck to be cold blooded...

 

There's only three kinds of snake that I don't like. Live ones, dead ones and sticks that look like 'em. I have killed plenty of sticks.

 

LMAO!!!!

 

I really like your truck.

 

Harmless snakes don't bug me too much, the poisonous ones creep me out but that guys got very pretty coloring.

 

Did you really have to kill it? Couldnt you have relocated it or called animal control to relocate it? Snakes are given a bad rep by people. Just leave it alone and walk away it will not harm you unless you provoke it. I have owned several snakes are they make excellent pets. They eat once a week to a month depending on size and only have to clean its cage once a week. They make no noise unless its a rattler but if u have one of those for a pet then u have major issues lol. A ball python is the perfect pet snake for the beginner. They grow 5 to 6 feet at most and are very very calm and gentle snake that you can take anywhere around your neck.

Give snakes a chance, dont kill them unless absolutley neccessary.

 

It's always necessary.
