"The snake was too laden to move..."
Sounds like a typical Thanksgiving for me.
oh my word! It's just strange to think that a snake is protected! I guess we have so many here they don't need to be.
What state has legislation prohibiting the killing of venonous snakes on private property?
Awrkinsawwww. I'm not a native, having migrated from Texas.
The word is that killing a venomous snake that is posing a danger is prolly O.K. But technically, . . .
The last cottonmouth I killed was curled up in a laying box in our chicken house. Nasty critter!
I also found it remarkable that SQUIRRELS ARE A GAME ANIMAL in Awrkinsawwww, with a season and everything. In Texas, they were just considered vermin, but then maybe that's changed since I left.
Apparently the Burmese and some other python species have camo that works perfectly in the dry grass in the Everglades. On the NG special a couple of herpetologists tracking a big female with a radio transmitter nearly stepped on her. The bummer part of this is that there will be a lot of species caught between two big reptile predators, the pythons and the gators.
My section of Illinois has no poisonous snakes. If I lived in any area that did, I would be packing every time I left the house. I don't have a thing about snakes, but I would not tolerate venomus types near my home.
LOL! Very nice!
They are eating up alot of the big birds who nest there....since their other homeland is being swallowed by new homes.
ROFL!! Miss Behave, you are on a roll!
