A snake like in that photo is cause enough for me to get my shotgun!

From watching those TV shows about snakes, some of the world’s most deadly snakes won’t even bother you if you leave them alone.

My wife screams at the very sight of a small garden snake.

Heh, my wife screamed at the site of that one.

I went out to play with it.

Lots of people hate snakes, for me its spiders and I don't stop to ask it if its dangerous to me, upstairs in my house its going to be dead...I let them live in my basement cause they eat the bugs down there....

Personally I like snakes...Had one living in my front yard flower garden for two years, but found it without its head on my grass this summer...I figure one of my dogs or some other critter hate snakes also.

I will take this moment to recommend you buy a .38 or .357 revolver and snake shot rounds if you’re gonna go around shooting snakes with ‘shot’. Using a shotgun near a house is a good way to damage a house and/or people in the area, whereas using snake shot in a revolver is a lot more controlled. ... Trust me, I found out the hard way.
