WoW! My husband and I have killed 2 of these in our yard this year. We live off of hwy 113 in Flomaton. The last one killed was right outside our patio door and he stomped it to death!
I will definitely be watching when I walk my small dogs.

Thankful God had his hand on you Sandy.
We live in Flomaton and also in the country with some acreage. My husband killed one of these just 2wks ago in our yard, he almost didn’t see it.
My daddy always told us, “watch where you put your feet”, & to this day I still do!!
Be careful out there folks, & God bless!!

Great story of what to do and not do. Thanks for sharing it Sandy. I live in the woods in Molino and have killed over 200 of these snakes plus 32 diamond backs, 6 coral snakes, 2 copperheads and 10 cottonmouths on my property over the 32 years we have owned the acreage. We are in their habitat and just have to be very careful. Your advice is excellent. Thank The Lord for the answered prayers and your progress in recovery.

Very glad the lady made a good recovery. This may not be the time for this warning but I met a lady in Molino several years ago that had a big fern on her porch and took it in for the winter not knowing one of these little monsters had bedded down in it. While she was asleep it crawled out and got on the bed with her and bit her. She went to work and got sick. They took her to the hospital and determined what it was and she was treated and made a full recovery. Her husband found the little critter and killed it but she refused to re-enter her home till it was gone. Just a little something to think about before we bring our plants in for the winter Wishing good luck and health to Sandy.

Medically, yes. In common language, either is acceptable.

Such a small snake. I’ve never seen 1 of those before. So glad she is doing better.
