In Case Of Snakes

[InigoMontoya]

At the office we encounter Sidewinders and Mojave rattlesnakes fairly frequently. I've found that if I just do something to annoy them (ie, make it clear that their current haunt isn't as peaceful as they thought), then walk away (ie, give them a bit of time/space), that when I come back in 5 minutes or so they've almost always moved on. No harm, no foul.

Killing snakes out of paranoia is just a good way to screw up your local ecosystem even more than it already has been.
You like rodents and invertebrates, and the diseases they carry? Kill the snakes.
Don't like the diseases carried by such vectors? Let them live, but encourage them to go keep their distance.

Nearly any snake will leave you alone, if you leave it alone.

As InigoMontoya said...
Irritate them a bit, and leave the area. When you come back the snake should be gone. If it's still around, maybe it needs some disciplinary action....

Snake and Bear threads are the bread and butter of the gun boards!

(Although I guess I haven't seen an SorB thread here for quite a while. (and that's okay.))

Let's get back to firearms, guys.
