Snakes certainly have their place in the grand scheme of things....just not in Casa de Hoot.
I tried putting signs up warnin' about the dangers of entering. I reckon snakes don't read too good.
I so love the name of your place Hoot

Spider web and Cat hair combined is the strongest know material in the universe.
Poisonous or not I'd need to get more then $5 to seek them out.
But then again you can't go to the movies these days for $5.
Has the bounty increased these days?
If the price is right I might be persuaded.
Read? Not likely...
When I was a teenager I sat on a copperhead - true fact. It was lounging on the cool porcelain behind the hinges of a toilet seat. Late in the evening I went to use the facility and didn't turn on the light. The snake didn't appreciate being squished and bit. After an embarrassing trip to the ER and a several night hospital stay, I learned to ALWAYS, ALWAYS look before sitting. It's my most ferverent wish that this was a once in a lifetime event
No snakes, thanks...have a hard enough time with some of the spiders around here.
One time when I brought in wood for the woodstove at the farm, I got a surprise--a garter snake. I went and got Myrtle and Harriet and brought them in the house...they took care of it for me (but they couldn't figure out how to eat it, so the DH had to cut it up and serve it to the girls). FWIW, watching chickens hunt a snake in the house proved more entertaining than anything that might have been on TV that week.
My 80 year old mother was having some heart issues, and had to wear a Holter monitor. I called her, to ask how it was going.
Mom: I think I messed up my test. I had to kill a snake.
Me: How come you killed it? (She is more of a live and let live type.)
Mom: It was in the house.
Me: Why didn't you just chase it out?
Mom: It was a copperhead.
She lived alone, and couldn't call anyone else to kill it for her--it might have slipped away. (AND THEN WHAT WOULD YOU DO?) She got the hoe and smacked it--had to carry it outside to finish it off, because, apparently, it is difficult to kill a snake on carpet.
Her test came out fine, BTW, not a glitch on it.
