Or leave them alone... or relocate them...
Yes, I know. @Papa-pepper is just code for "snake man!" Actually, I enjoy all the creatures out there for the most part, and not just snakes. It just so happens that I find a lot of snakes and most people don't really like them, including a lot of my neighbors. Therefore, rather than having other people just kill them, I like to take them on one way "field trips!"
OUR FAVORITE OPTION : RELOCATION
In this video I show you the release of five relocated snakes. One is a venomous Copperhead and the other four are Northern Water Snakes. They all came from near a community where people do not appreciate them being around, so I helped move them.
While just leaving snakes alone is the safest way to go, it doesn't really get rid of them. With so many children in the nearby area, I like relocating the venomous ones anyway. However, when other folks have a real hatred for these creatures, it is a good move for me to empty the pond of these serpents too. If you missed my post the other day where I show you how I capture these water snakes at night, click here to check it out.
My favorite part about relocating snakes like this is that it is a win, win, win situation. Yes, I intentionally had three wins there. You see, the people don't have to deal with them near where they live, so that's a win. Additionally, the snakes get to live rather than die, which is another win. Then, as an added bonus, I get to check them out! WIN! As always, don't try this at home, but don't kill them either!
As always, I'm
