Total BS, I don't buy it, garder snakes don't have teeth and they can't bite holes in you. There bites are no different then being bit by a lizard.

I don't try to figure out which is which I just kill them all. I also use the catch glue make a box that is thin put it up against a wall and if they crawl in they are stuck. I pick up the box and chuck them in the dumpster. One less breader. I don't hate them but I am not interested enough and just plain don't care to learn which is which. It is easy to just cut the heads off and chuck them. I never have to worry if I let a dangersous one get away.

This guy in Alaska removes the snakes that aren't there:

and somebody seems to think that Maine has timber rattlesnakes:

Default 2 more

I found 2 more guys in one of the sticky things today: one was a black kid with a yellow collar and the other, black with yellow stripes.

I just googled and found out they both appear to be pretty harmless.

I watched him grab the garter snake and I had to get it off his hand. He had a small puncture hole in the side of his hand which scabed up w/in a few days.. I dont know what in their mouth caused it but it happened when that snake bit him.. I was hoping he would have learned from that first time.

If they had been alive I would have, but they were very dead. Again, they were just babies. As I have mentioned the exterminator comes every 3 months. After he strays he leaves little triangle traps to kill any bugs that still remain. From time to time small snakes get stuck as well. If we were in the area when they crawl onto the sticky pads we would release them, but we have yet to see it happen.

ps: I still can't stand snakes, but yes, if I knew it wasn't poisinous I would let it go.

Don't let it bother you. We lived in the Dallas area for 13 years and I never saw a snake. Our daughter has been there for 23, I don't think she has either. Even here, I know people who haven't seen them. These little guys would probably have stayed in the woods had they not gotten lost and somehow dicided our porch was a good place to hang out.
