I stayed out of the other thread cause I figured it would just get me fired up. I would not intentionally kill a snake just forthe sake of killing it. Poisonous or not. If I felt I was in danger of getting bit by a poisonous one, I'd probably put myself MORE at risk attempting to kill it, rather than just vacating the area.


I am with Matt & Scott. I have never EVER understood the irrational killing of every snake a person sees. It is one of the few things that REALLY angers me in life. I love snakes, always have. The are fascinating.

Now I would eat rattlesnake, I've heard it's very good. Even though not a fan of killing snakes, if I was in a place loaded with them & it was legal/common practice to eat some, I would give it a try.
