I never had any snake chase me but my husband did. I heard him yelling from the garage and when I went out there he was on top of the truck because a water moccasin chased him.
I was sitting in the yard with my boys while they were playing in their sand pile. A coral snake literally flew out of the grass into the sand pile. I killed it with one of their toy trucks.
I have been confronted with rattlesnakes and all kinds of snakes mostly all poisonous and I killed them all for the safety of my children . Not sorry.
If I had known how many snakes were on that piece of wooded property where we built our first house I never would have built there. As it turn out only a dog was bitten.
Was walking the neighborhood streets with my wife, in NC, and there was a huge water moccasin lying in the road. I picked up a stick and confronted it, like any macho man would.
That snake rose up and balanced on the last foot of it’s tail and started swaying back and forth, looking me right in the eyes as if to say, “You think you bad with that little stick, come on if you got the balls, boy”.
I put the stick down and backed away. That snake was a badass!
