If a snake you see,
Leave it be.

Because if you're like me, by the time I get the rhyme right about what color on what color is bad or good for Jack or me or anyone else, it's too late. But Rudolph with the red nose I can remember! ngd – another way to identify a coral from a scarlet king snake is to remember, just like Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer (OK, I can hear the snickering from everyone), a red nosed snake is a friendly critter.

If we loose the diamondback we won't have anything left but some old sow with piglets to keep us in shape. In my yard they belong to me as two discovered last summer. the last one my grandson found was five feet long and was transporting 24 embryos, yes I checked. I don't kill every one I come accross, depending on where he is at I might just send him on his merry way.Everyone needs a little drama in their life, keeps the artery's cleaned out, not so much for the underpants though.

The rattlesnake rodeo in Opp Alabama is alive and well and appers to have never missed a beat. The stock car race is 200 miles and they also have a 5K run. The event has it's own website.

First, they eat an enormous amount of rodents every year. Second, they would rather leave than bite you, so watch where you are stepping!!! As for killing black snakes (and other non -poisonious snakes) you are killing a snake which eats poisonious snakes and rodents, he is your friend and if it weren't for these snakes our farms would be overrun with mice/rats! Educate yourself before you kill off the creatures God put here for a reason...they are part of the eco system. Snakes are probably the most misunderstood creature.

These guys would spit a mouthfull of gasoline down a gopher hole to drive the snakes out. This activity was discontinued in the 80s, because of declining snake populations. Im going to google this and see what they say on the subject. Does anyone remember the rattlesnake rodeos up in Opp Alabama, fried rattler meat and the Rattler 400 at the speedway?
