I say leave the Poor snakes alone, Unless they are poisonous ones near your home and you have kids around.

we have a Ball Python and he is actually a very interesting Pet
captive born so he doesn't act anything like the wild ones

What weird is i live right in the middle of the city. i have never seen anything like this around.

After reading about king snakes, it does sound like the only kind of snake to have around, but when i found him, i didnt go look on the internet to research what kind of snake it was. he struck at me, and i made him a good snake. it was dark, and when i saw him, i thought it was a copperhead.

Swing Machete now, ask questions, check the internet later!!!

Unless it's your snake or dog the following rules apply:

All dogs bite and All snakes are poisonous.

Sincerely,

kill 'em all and let god sort them out...
