Yep...or under my house fighting each other (or something else) and raising cain. I put up with it for a few nights, then it was out with the spot light and the .22 . I did make sure they were out from under the house before I shot them...would have stunk terrible to have a dead one under there during the summer.

My neighbor had a nest of them under his house a couple of years age and they trashed all his wiring and some pipes. He like to have never got them things out. he found where they were going in and out and he crawled under there with a light and had his wife hit them with a shovel as they came out. I think they killed about ten of those things.
 
Check out the fangs on this big boy. Of all the snakes i don't like this one. Like i said they are mean and will strike at anything and when you do kill it, they put off an odor just like a skunk.

Just wanted to thank everyone for your input on this thread.......just in time for me to move my piles and start stacking them! I don't have to worry bout the poisonous ones but a snake is a snake to me :) I'll probably look like I'm sorting through logs made of glass.

LOL. And I have a small pile to get stacked myself. It will be done carefully. Plus I have wood to be cut that is in tall grass. I think I'll bring the string trimmer along for a little peace of mind :) .

Geez Stihl,

All the pics of poisonus stuff down there, I'm suprised people still exist in the south! I remember a buddy talking about quail hunting Texas one time. He said if it didn't stick you it bit you. :)

I remember my first time in the woods down here I couldn't believe all the briars and stuff that will stick you in the woods. As I've said before, this part of the world ain't made for humans...at least sane ones :) .

Dang you guys have some impressive pics! I just saw this thread about a half hour after I saw the biggest garden snake I ever saw and took a pic of it with my camera.

Its nothing like what is already posted but I thought it was remarkable and my KOI pond right next door is full of decent sized snakes but this guy is huge for a garden snake hes about 4 feet long and probably 2 inchs around.

Yup they are rare but have seen a few in 46 years that were that size.
