Will Do. I have seen his comment before and lots of people have that attitude. To each his own!
Well they ain't jerks, they are just afraid of them. I love to have non-venomous snakes around to kill vermin. Mice can cause thousands of dollars in damage to machines and vehicles.You stupid jerks!! One of Gods greatest gifts to us helping control the real varmints and pests in our world!!! A harmless black snake that lives on pests that chew up your vehicle, home, garage, garden etc!!!
Well I do feel somewhat bad now making that comment and I didn't know so many good fellows where on this thread! That might include Bill G who I do not know?Well they ain't jerks, they are just afraid of them. I love to have non-venomous snakes around to kill vermin.

Those things will pop you hard. And you best go to the hospital if it happens because not only does the venom potentially cause seizures, the bite has bacteria and parasites that can be nearly if not just as bad!
They’re all over the place during the spring, summer and some of the fall where I live. Especially near trees and their root beds. And they WILL get into your house through the drains and septic system. From there they will get into your bed and your dirty laundry.Well... No and Yes.

Awww look at all the Yankees terrified of their cute little snakes
We do have cute snakes by comparison, don't we?
One of my favorites:

They get about 12-14 inches long at when mature, and eat tiny bugs and earthworms.
These little guys are completely harmless. They cannot bite you, even if they tried. I've saved many of them from destruction, as they like to hide under boards and logs at the ground level.
Well... No and Yes.
