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.

 

[Squidward]

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.

That would put you somewhere in the Butler to Falmouth area. I have lived in the Grantslick area since 1971 and encountered 2 on my farm years ago. Both verified by the late Dr. JC Crawley DVM, (renowned Campbell Co. Vet.) They are no longer. Just saying. OT

The day centipedes were created, God looked down said “WTF”?

She was monkeying with the centipedes' DNA code and a key got stuck key on her keyboard.

I think the DNA from the Titan Boa got mixed in with some frog dna with the smaller ones and that’s how the giant centipedes came to be. And there was a theme park on some deserted island and it got out of control.

You are 100% correct they will not grasp it whatsoever. Some are too tied to just "googling" to actually learn anything first hand. I have no use for conibears above the water. I am sorry if it offends someone but the use of them on dry ground is criminal and it is a game law violation here above 8x8. The use of them is a lazy mans way of harvesting. It is a horrible way to end the life of a unintended animal (not that there is a good way to do so). I have used 330's but they are placed under the water where the ONLY animal caught will be a intended animal... the rascally Beaver. I have never seen a mans **** dog dive under the water to stick it's head in a conibear

Well there ya go
I feel the same way about snakes but somehow I am wrong according to hypocrites.
