Yeah, we have bull snakes here, too. They like to lay right on the dirt roads and they're very hard to see when driving. I don't mind having them around...they keep lots of things in check. Rattlers I don't have much use for even though they eat mice and such, too.

Yep, there are plenty of non-poisonous snakes willing to do the job of the poisonous ones.
Fangs need killin.

Denver Post: Rattlesnake bites Colorado groom during wedding photos

Fortunately Benson was lucky. The snake delivered a “dry bite,” which didn’t inject venom into the wound.

I haven't seen this happen too often.
Really "got lucky" on his wedding day

Only good snake pics are dead ones, GJ!

I'm grinding my teeth right now, I freaking hate those damn things with a passion! My buddies wife attempted to tease me a bit with their pet snake, after about a minute my buddy told her to put it away or I would kill it, by the time she turned and looked back at me I had my pocket knife out.....she has never tried that again. Some of my most fond memories with my grandfather was catching them and throwing them out in the middle of the road before a car came by and watching them get crushed, the ones who still had a bit of life left got met with the shovel real quick.

That looks like a bull snake to me. I don't have a problem with them.

Yeah I tried to catch him so the boys could check him out, but he was quicker than I was.

What kind of round did you use?

[Bailey Guns]

A .410...#7 or #8 shot. Nothing fancy.
