Bad Snakes and Snake Lovers

I would never kill any snakes, especially venomous ones. Most venomous snake bites occur when someone either picks the snake up, or tries to kill the snake. These animals definitely do play an important role in the ecosystem. I don't think it's right to kill them just because they end up in your backyard. I certainly don't think it's a good idea either. If you find a venomous snake in your yard, the best thing you can do, is call a professional snake catcher to remove the animal. Never try to kill one of these snakes.
