I am trying to teach my kids to respect them and not fear them indiscriminately.

Good Job Jason,

I've worked hard to instill the same in my daughter. She like to catch snakes, but knows that I have to inspect them first. Even with venomous snakes, spiders etc. I try to teach her the difference between prudent and respectful caution and irrational fear.

It wasn't bad. That's the only time she ever bit me. Even during feeding she never bit.

Yep. About 15 miles SW of Alexandria. I drive that road through the woods on my way home from work. Helps me wind down.

Fully naked, no candles, rarely touch bourbon anymore, don't smoke in my house either. You nailed the sex part though.

My boa had a habit of getting out of her aquarium. She would be loose in the house for a week or two sometimes then show back up. Came home fro work one day and she was coiled up sleeping on top of our bathroom door. 6' snake sleeping on top of a door 1 1/2" wide. I still haven't figured out how she could do that or how the hell she got up there.

Snakes creep me out, only reptile on earth that does. We worked on our lease last weekend and didn't come across not even a cottonmouth in the basin. Went back to the camp to pick up Sunday afternoon and a 6-7ft egg/rat snake came out of no where on our slab by the camp door, I was actually calm about, but it kept trying to go under the camp, I had a briar hook trying to scoop it up and go throw it in the woods a few 100 yds away, well it kept striking at me after bout 5 minutes I had enough so I killed it. I know that's a good snake to have around but done found 2 in my camp last year and didn't want my wife and kids to meet up with that next time they come for the weekend. Sorry snake guys....

Got no problem killing one if it could cause an issue. Scaring the family is an issue in my book. Other than that I'm not bothered by them. Cottonmoths are a different story though. I despise those tempermental bas tards. Yeah that may make me a hypocrite but I'm fine with that. Just something about a nasty cottonmouth that makes it need killin. Pretty and mean is one thing but ugly and mean can't be tolerated.

Cotton mouths and and moccasins stink as bad as their attitudes!! Lol! Usually smell them before seeing them....

Good to see a snake pic with its head still intact. I can see killing a venemous snake if it is around the house, but out in the woods, if it is venemous or not, respect them and let them go on their way....

Yep. No need killing just for the sake of killing.

What scares me when I smell one while walking through the woods...... is sometimes I can't find it to know which way to move away from it.

Cotton mouth and "water" moccasins is the same snake..... just 2 different names for it.

I always said that, but older guys in my hunting club said they were different, one is smaller than the other...don't matter what they called I scream like a school girl and run like a retarded n.i.n.j.a when I see one!!!!! Lol!!!

Wouldn't let me spell *****.....
