I am a 65 year old woman who lived in swampy areas on gulf coast 43 years. I have killed MANY cotton mouth, copperheads, rattlers, coral snakes which r as poisonous as Cobras, IN MY YARD! Three in 2013. We had gators there. One a block from our house was 13 ft 1 inch. No longer the record as of 2016. We moved, we now have coyotes. These women will have no problem with snakes.
