The only good snake is a dead snake. All the tree huggers can say what they want. I shoot'em and leave them laying there hopefully as an example to others! I have two natural fears in life.
1. Snakes, my philosiphy is that ALL snakes are poisonous, and will chase you down and bite you just to be mean! No arguing, I believe it, that settles it!
2. Lightning, horrifies me, funny that I live in the lightning capital of the world (Florida). Comes from 1 of my 2 near death experiences. I was walking from my house to the neighbors to get a cup of sugar for some cookies, I was about 6 at the time, and lightning hit the power drop on our house not 10 feet from me. Singed the hair on my face and knocked me unconcious! I feel its a justifiable fear.

I thought I'd seen it all, until a 22WMR spun a bunny 2 1/4 times in the air!
