Snake ID Please

[Bill G]

Yup! Yup! and Yup!

Do you or have you ever used conibears above the water?
I think that might be an analogy some here might have an easier time grasping

One cat took out a dove, but those are not in short supply. For every dove or songbird they take out, they knock out a score or more of mice.
Plus, while I am mainly a dog person, with two German Shepherds, petting the cats probably lowers my blood pressure.
Even encountering a non-venomous snake usually raises it a little, because, by their nature, snakes are ambush predators for the most part, good at camouflage, generating little noise, so running across them is at least momentarily startling for me, as I suspect it is for most folks... though not all. But... I don't go around killing the non-poisonous ones, unless they get taken out by mowing equipment, pretty rare so far.
If I encountered a poisonous one, I'd have to make a decision. Could I safely move it? And if so, where? What if where I think it is safely moved, it winds up biting some kid, or a hiker or a dog? So far, though, I've not encountered any.

Don't forget the Water Moccasin. Just saying.

Yep. We may be a little far north for them, about 30 miles due south of the Ohio River.

We have two ponds, and while I keep an eye out, I have not seen any.

How is the rabbit, pheasant, and quail hunting within a 3 mile radius of your place?
How about red/gray fox?

Nope! lol And i doubt some can grasp that.

So then you mean you did not just simply relocate one of God's creatures to a suitable environment for him to live a long and fruitful life?

No. He had to die.

I do not think those are God’s creatures. In fact, I’m convinced those things are bred in the bowels of hell, and they would even make Satan scream like a little girl in fear.
