Monday Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 What if these copperheads try to come back? If my house were prone to infestation I might take that opportunity to convince Mr. Monday to move to a high rise condo downtown. A 19+ condo.

karaddin Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 You wouldn't, sometimes they get near you. All the snakes I've seen have crossed my path suddenly and gave me a heart attack everytime. At that point you're left with no choice but to kill them. Or run, but running is a move for p-ssies.Another tale I heard is that if you run, some snakes will run after you...King Browns are angry mutha's, they can do this. Also nice and venomous. Just popping in to ruin Min's plans with a single example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Of House Hill Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I once had a mountain rattlesnake bother my dogs, by hanging out by their pen. I solved the problem by putting a bullet in its head. Does that work on copperheads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubby Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I like this discussion of somewhat dangerous, little snakes. Copperheads are cute.One of these was caught about 30 metres from my place last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copperheads are cute.One of these was caught about 30 metres from my place last summer.I am sure people from Southern and Southeastern Asia are laughing at all of us (even intrepid Australians). Indian cobras are bad enough add in Russell's vipers and I am pretty much done. Here I am fearing black bears and rattlesnakes; how human beings can survive on a subcontinent populated by kraits, cobras, and tigers is beyond me.

Larry of the Lawn Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 When it comes to snake's heads, you need to follow the Red God and burn them. When I was a kid I'd kill watersnakes by beheading and the heads would twitch for hours after removal, so you should burn them. If you bury them your dogs can dig them up.

Stubby Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Holy hell, Stubby. That's like.... a really nasty snake. That's like... a copperhead on METH.And that's one of our less dangerous ones. Luckily, we don't live anywhere near the nastier breeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaramyrSixchins Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I laid down several glue boards in my shed in an attempt to control a brown recluse spider problem. One morning, I found a very young copperhead that had somehow managed to get his entire 2 ft length stuck to the trap. He was alive & was eerily undulating without actually advancing. muscle contractions rolling through his length like a wave. His bottom jaw was stuck fast to the trap, so his upper jaw was unhinged, tiny little fangs bared. He looked as if he were auditioning for the role of Dr. John's hatband or something. It was a little stomach churning, actually, the poor thing was suffering greatly. Decapitating something that's stuck to a glue board is no easy feat, which is a very odd sentence to type, but that makes it no less true...

Zar Lannister Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I feel undermined. We only have boas. Their bites aren't venomous, but they try to constrict you. You know, prevent you from taking control of your stuff. Maybe they want to be left alone to do as they please? I think they should, but why does it have to be in your premises, right?

Darth Visenya Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yes it's fun to mindlessly kill animals because their a Snake, I get not wanting them in or near your home, or if you're going to eat them fair enough I can't really argue against that on grounds of Morality but just killing them because their a Snake is wrong and really pisses me off.

Is it then appropriate to force them to live in hardship and poverty, nigh unto death? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lany Freelove Cassandra Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I am taking down my son's fort and we found this. close up scale pic (hammer was the only thing I had handy)I don't want to meet the former owner, but I am afraid he might be living under the floor.

Fragile Bird Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Oh dear, Lany, it's just a little garter snake, isn't it? They eat things like crickets and worms and frogs, they won't be interested in you. And yes, I hate snakes as well. Especially snakes in the grass, but it's not a boa or a copperhead. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be better to kill it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
