Smart woman. I used a cast iron skillet on a snake in our living room. Thought about shooting it but didn’t think that’d be a good idea in the house.
There’s a local forum where people post police calls and there’s always someone calling about snakes in their yards. I get in trouble for telling folks to buck up and kill them without bothering the cops.
Growing up we always found copperhead snakes in our house. Many shovels were placed inside the house.

It would be a lot better to learn which are venomous and which aren’t and not molest the non-venomous ones. I very much like having non-venomous snakes around my property because thy eat all sorts of bad things, like mice and rats. Indeed, I’ve even rescued a couple that were caught in a landscaping net. I also have a great picture of a 52” long black snake that was climbing the side of my house. Aside from taking its picture, I did nothing to bother it because I wanted it to stay around.
Good thinking. Butter, white wine, and mushrooms?
