We're taking care of our neighbor's two dogs while they're at the beach. I was out running some errands and pulled down to their house to let the dogs out (yes, it was me). I went ahead and turned the car around so I'd be ready to leave after I finished and saw this writhing on the driveway...

Accidentally ran right over the head...never saw it until I turned around. Whoopsie daisy! Thought I'd memorialize it a la D. Boon and his bar.

Poor snake.

In April, I was meditating in my back yard on a nice spring day and a 4 foot black rat snake slithered by my feet.

I was shocked and went inside. The snake slithered into my neighbor's yard and he killed it with a shovel. 😞

He's from Jamaica and hates snakes. 😞

Good for you. I often found them in my yard while mowing in the 10 years I lived in North Carolina.

Good for you. That's one less copperhead in the world. It's a start.

They seem to be everywhere lately. Found a couple in our yard over the weekend and I had to get the shovel out for them. My wife (no pics) is now convinced we have a nest in the yard. We shall see I guess. We had one sunning itself on our boat a couple of weeks ago, the marina staff took care of that. Just summer in the Carolinas. Happy you killed this one, so thanks for that!

Snakes maul rats and mice and rarely bite humans.

As I said, the squashing was accidental. I've handled numerous poisonous and non-poisonous snakes and have never purposely killed one of any stripe. Had a friend who kept a timber rattler in the bottom drawer of his dresser 🐍. I'd have relocated this one had I caught it unsquashed. Alas, there was no hope for recovery so I pancaked his head to insure there would be no accidents and disposed of the carcass. Then I carved my manly feat into a tree.

Yep.

I was commenting on other posters who brag about slaying snakes.

It's amazing how fat those copperheads get, thankfully they're not really found in FL too often and we just deal with moccasins and rattlers.

As long as they're not poisonous, let them live.

Yep and I have mice that get into my garage and I have traps that kill them that aren’t as creepy and as gross as what snakes are.

No animal should be able to move that quickly on land without having legs and also be able to swim just as easily.

Gross!

Our neighborhood in a smallish North Carolina town is locally known as Copperhead Alley. We regularly see them in the street and around our house. Both my wife and I have nearly stepped on one in the last year. Snakes are my single phobia, so it took me a while to get used to it. The only one we ever killed was a good-sized one that my wife almost stepped on while going into our kitchen door. It was early afternoon, and the damn thing just traversed back and forth between our kitchen and front doors for about two hours. I was out of town, so one of my buddies and his son came over and polished it off with a shovel.

We’ve been in our house four years (newer development) in Des Moines and I’ve seen more snakes this summer than any of the three previous years combined. They freak the shit out of me because they always catch me by surprise …

Thick body. Fat (flattend) head. Poisonous.

Dude, I left my house today. Drove through the neighborhood windows down. One block from my house something catches my eye and a squirrel falling through the air crashes on the concrete and is dead. Literally fell out of a tree. I roll 20 feet, hit the stop sign, take a right, drive 20 feet, and a squirrel runs across the street. Wham, dead squirrel. Two of them under 30 seconds apart. Between that and you killing a snake I'm pretty sure that is one of the seven signs of the apocalypse.

I personally like the leaf. I can't figure out if you are camouflaging your kill.....

Snake falls from the sky onto a woman mowing her lawn. Then a hawk attacked them both ​


In a bizarre series of events, a routine lawn-mowing chore turned into a terrifying ordeal for a woman in Silsbee, Texas, after she was attacked by a snake and a hawk at the same time.

Peggy Jones was mowing her lawn Tuesday when a snake fell from the sky and wrapped itself around her arm. As she tried to rid of the clinging reptile, it began snapping at her face and broke her glasses.

While the snake was gripping tightly at her forearm, a hawk suddenly swooped down from above and began attacking Jones, attempting to wrest away the slithery serpent.

"I just kept saying, ‘Help me, Jesus. Help me, Jesus,’" she told NBC affiliate KPRC-TV.

Jones recalled the hawk coming at her at least four times before it finally pulled the snake off and flew away.

Photos shared by KPRC-TV show deep cuts and bruises on Jones' bloodied right forearm. She was rushed to the emergency room after her husband heard her screams and came running.

"I was yelling and screaming. He didn’t know what I was saying. I thought I was bit by a snake," she recalled.
