I need a new hat band for my 2X beaver, 6” brim, Gus groove silver belly hat. that oughta do.
The only poisonous snakes we have around here are Massasauga rattlesnakes but they’re awfully rare. I haven’t seen one since I was a kid.
Non venomous snakes are welcome on our property as well. I have a very long (over 4 feet) black racer that suns on our porch occasionally. He just slithers off when we disturb him. The last rattler we saw was also at the edge of our porch. He went to meet his maker.
We don’t see too many rattlers or copperheads any more. They aren’t real fond of people activity, and tend to move on.
This week we are seeing box turtles on the move. They get moved out of the road by everybody around here if it is possible to stop. We just like them.
I have tree snakes, garden snakes, bull snakes, I love them because they eat all those cute little mice and gophers and other pests but when it comes to rattlesnakes I’m with you, they will die if they come on my property and I see them.
My son’s girlfriend got bitten by one and her hospital bill was over 200K! There is no reason to let them live.
