You kill it?
Nope. But here is the caption that came with the pic:
"This snake was recently found at the old Turkey Creek gas plant located just south of the Alibates Turnoff on Highway 136 south of Fritch Texas . [THAT'S JUST NORTH OF AMARILLO]"
A reminder that these creatures are actually out there and no matter what you believe, sometimes they should get not only prescriptive rights to be there but the full right of way!
