and I must ask fine Sir, why exactly would one put said snake in the glove box? Hmmm?

I have a king snake who has laid claim to the greenhouse. Works for me, he gets room and board and I have a few less vermin to deal with.
Copperheads on the other hand are immediately dispatched. I've had 2 dogs bitten in the last several years and was almost bitten myself on one occasion.
In the warmer weather I don't even leave the grassy area of the property without my snake boots.

I went shooting at my cabin Saturday but needed to do a little bushhoging first. There was a large (5'+) rat snake under the hood. I tried to move him but he decided to escape INTO the console. Great. Now he's in there and I have tractoring to do before I can shoot. So I took off bush-hogging repeatedly watching my feet since I had one dump down right on my feet last year in the same situation. That's not really my favorite thing in life. But, I never saw him. Afterwards, when I started to shoot between me and the target I started hearing some buzzing. It was flies. Poor guy must have bailed and the bush hog got him. That was not what I was wanting as he was doing a great job keeping the mice at bay.

I've seen several snakes in my yard but thankfully have never seen a copperhead. And if you knew my yard, you'd be equally shocked.

This one did the same thing. She however did not get mowed.

If mine would have been there, piece of cake. It was in the back. The exact same place it was last year, but a good bit smaller and I was able to move it. Too quick and strong this time. Oh well.
Keep that exterminator around.

I saw a beautiful Black Racer the other day. He was all up looking like a cobra, and took off when he saw me coming. Man those things are fast.

Had one chase me as a kid. I didn’t care what kind it was...I was just plain skeered

Probably the dreaded Copperheadedwaterrattler.
