My dad kills every snake he can and that is old school down here.
I rarely kill one,only if it comes near my kids or house on a regular basis.
Here is another snake wrangler

Been years since I've seen one here in town, but in the wild I leave them alone if I can. I caught one last year at my friend's pond where I fish, but that was so I could re-locate it. If my friend had seen it there would have been a pattern of buckshot on the water around it.
We have few poisonous snakes around here, and what few there are tend to be very reclusive. I've actually seen only a few copperheads in the wild, and heard a rattler only once or twice. The worst snakes are the water snakes. Non-poisonous, but very aggressive. I've had one of them actually try to get in a canoe with me, and I'd judge it wasn't in a good mood by the way it was acting. That one was over 5' long and it got the edge of a canoe paddle right behind the head which calmed it right down (clear down to the bottom of the creek ).
Another time I was gigging in the riffles on a local creek at night for forage fish and felt something hitting my hip boot about calf high. Turned my light on my boot and found I had stepped on a very large water snake and it was coiled around my leg and striking my boot in an attempt to bite me. I calmly shook it off my boot. (If you call screaming and lowering the water level of the creek by a few inches by kicking the water out on the banks calm! ) Shows you fear can overpower common sense easily! No way it could of hurt me with the thick rubber boot on my leg, but I wanted it off - QUICKLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HATE NO SHOULDERS !!
To me the only good no shoulders is a dead one with no head!! Been bitten once by a copperhead when I fell on it. Fortunately it didn't give me a full dose of poison . Dr said I was lucky. My arm swelled up for a couple days but that was all. Had a water moccasin bite me in the heel of my boot and couldn't get it's fangs out. I think the boot is still sitting where I came out of it at the speed of sound. Had a few other bad experiences with no shoulders! NOT FUN!!!
I'm okay as long as I see them first and they are going away from me. If they startle me , I will go out of my way to kill them. Don't care if they are poisonous or not! I know, I know some snakes are supposed to be good by eating rodents, etc. Don't care! They can be as good as they want as long as they are not within 100 meters of me!!

Oh common guys. some of the smaller guys make AWESOME pets.
Here is Thanatos; my 22" Ghost Corn Snake. Eventually he should hit the 4-6' range.
Here is an older Ghost Corn Snake. Hopefully little Thanatos will look like him some day.
Here's a full grown Corn Snake, so you can get a relative size.

I remember a few years back a bunch of us went up on the bruce peninsula to tobermory to dive .I went over away from the truck to relieve myself ,went to step over a log and there was as massasauga buzzing . I figured 5 mm of neoprene might not be enough .Let me tell you ,you could not have shoved a needle up by butt with a sledgehammer.
Met one of those Massasauga rattlers two years ago. We were at a fishing lodge on a small island and one was sunning himself on the dock of the boat house. I did't realize what he was so I reached down and grabbed him by the tail, as he slid under the door. When my hand started to buzz I knew what he was . I told the lodge owner and she wasen't pleased to hear they had one, or who know how many. Like I said, it was a small island and there were people vaccationing there every day. The owner was going to try to catch it and take it across the lake.
I hunt for memories, the meat's a bonus!
