...I can't square this post and your understanding of gators with that of your OP and your wuss's perspective on snakes.

It's like you don't understand that snakes and gators are both reptiles, and have the exact same thermal needs and are thus equally predictable/controllable because of this.

Snakes are slimey slithery bastards that deserve to die in hellfire. Gators are pretty cool, especially when small although their tails hurt like a bitch if they slap you just right with them. At least with gators you just need to stay away from the waters they live in to not get fucked up by them, snakes will get you in your damn front yard or swallow your ass whole while tending your crops. Fuck em all.

Now Crocs are another story, fuck those mean bastards too but they also stay in their "zone" so I don't care about them much either.

My wife sent this from her morning walk. She took the pic and walked away. She didn't kill the snake because she isn't a easily frightened little pussy.


I will not feel one bit bad when you complain about the obscene hospital bill when she gets bit not being a "frightened little pussy". Although, at least in that pic, it sorta looks like a tinderbox so I'm not sure if my kill em with fire technique would work very well. I don't want to burn down half a state or anything.

when it comes to pythons, you're better off carrying vodka. They hate alcohol, and it's the only way to get them to release their coils. Just uncork the bottle and pour it over their head and body.

..whiskey probably works, too, but I think vodka is more harsh. That way, the snake survives, you survive, and you both have a story to tell.

My luck it would be the day that I just finished the bottle because who can't resist drinking vodka when it's in their pocket? My last thoughts would be "When my wife dies and joins me in heaven she is never going to let me hear the end of it, I told you that your drinking would kill you! She will literally be able to turn heaven into hell, fuck me."

Snakes are not the least bit slimey, most are far more beneficial to the planet than you are and very few are dangerous. In the USA bees kill 10 times more people than snakes and around the world mosquitoes kill 10 times more than snakes.

the only dangerous reptile we have here are snapping turtles. They are about the most mean tempered, ornery creatures I have seen.

The difference is that mosquitoes have no benefit and are a huge danger. Snakes provide a huge benefit and treated with respect are not very dangerous. Your fear/hated of mosquitoes is based on fact, your fear/hatred of snakes is based on ignorance. Snakes and spiders are our friends, not our enemies.

There are exceptions to every rule. How many people are killed by dogs every year? But they're still our friends, no?

USA:

Snakes: under 10

Dogs: 25-30 on average.

Most of the snake deaths are in 3rd world countries where people walk around barefoot and don't have access to medical facilities. Americans have no reason to be afraid of snakes and no reason to want to kill them on sight.

I would have expected that Human would be #1 with all the wars and crap going on.

Humans are way higher than mosquitoes. That number reflects intentional murders only. It doesn't count wars, manslaughter, drunk driving, or any of the other ways we have of killing each other.

He's near Huron and Erie I guess was my point, that's where those critters live.

KMFJD, the one in your garage, did it vibrate it's tail like a rattler?

I'm in SW ontario and that most definitely was a fox snake, we get them all the time here, I think that's the same one that was up in one of the evergreens last fall....we live along a creek and have 2 fair sized ponds in the back and lotsa field mice from the farm so they have plenty to eat. We usually see a couple a year around that size 4+ feet

Maybe because we kill them on site?




I don't really have a problem with snakes and have never killed one. Just don't scare he crap out of me and I won't shoot them.

Ah, reminds me of my childhood home.

I miss having all that nature around. Not so much the mice. And mosquitoes.

This.
So fucking this.
Educate yourselves people! Snakes are beneficial.
It reminds me of road rage. People never learn to leave well enough alone.
Then they either wind up dead or their life has changed (for the far worse) forever.

The female vic in Indonesia is quite rare. Retics can definitely overpower large animals no doubt. Dumb asses keep them as pets with no real knowledge of what they are capable of and are too lazy to keep a proper habitat to contain them.

Reminds me back in the day for those old enough to remember. Baby alligators used to be sold in pet stores. People would get tired of them because they are a pain in the ass to (properly) keep and bite real hard! So they flushed them. And in public sewers they grew large. Reports of plumbers getting chased (you can't outrun them!) were not uncommon. Stupid people do stupid things.

And yes, no one wants snakes in their home. (outside of a herp person!) So if a pest invades your home, have it removed by someone that handles them properly and removes them without harm to the snake or yourself.

sorry pal. if I find a rattlesnake or any other venomous snake on my property its gonna die. I have pets and kids nobody needs to get bit. garder and bull snakes I leave alone.
