I've Just Rescued the Wifey... lol

My mother stepped on a rat snake in a dark cellar a few years ago. My mother thought it was a washer hose. Only one of them lived.

Omg! Which one!?

We had 1 that was about 12 inches long my wife was screaming down stairs like it was a an intruder in the house, here I come down stairs with my Gun ready to shoot , then she points at the little snake. I picked it up and put in in my yard. My old King Charles cavalier would kill any snake that came in the house, and trade you a treat for the Dead Snake.

I had a five-foot version of that in my garage a few years ago.
I picked it up and put it in the woods 50 yards away.
But, I chickened out on the way I picked it up-- I pinned its head and grabbed it firmly just behind the jaws. That was probably not necessary, and made the snake upset and got it thrashing more than it needed to. I've picked up 2-foot to 30-inch snakes without controlling their head before, just handling them gently and supporting their bodies, and have rarely gotten bit. Most snakes are pretty chill.

A venomous snake can still fang you if you pick it up behind the head for future reference.

I can assure you that I will not be bitten trying that

If I figure that it’s a bad boy such as a rattle snake, it’s a NO touch rule and a death sentence to him...

Hahaha.... Same with my wife.... and when I grabbed it, she ran away screaming saying that I was crazy, that I should kill it. So, I took the opportunity to teach about how good it is to have a rat snake around. And she hates rats, so she asked “Does this mean the snake came after rats” I was like “Maybe...” lol

Mighty brave battling them big ole snakes
while you're wearing flop-flips.

I know right. Crocs are standard operating equipment for dealing with snakes...
