Or it's one of the babies of one you relocated and now he's a grown up at 2 ft long. That's another thing I'll have to keep an eye out for offspring. Not sure when they start doing that around here. Hey man, you do you. I didn't express any opinion on you killing it or not. Just said I'd have relocated it. I've never seen one other than at summer camp in New Braunfels as a kid. If we are throwing out silly hypotheticals, perhaps because you've killed them all? Edit: I'll kill the shit out of rattlers, cottonmouths and copperheads though. |

Killed a copperhead Saturday, was on the back patio in the middle of the day which I thought was odd.
Chopped his head off with a machete and stuck him in the freezer, figuring to make a hatband out of him later. I really should have told the wife about that.  We have corals around here but I haven't killed one more than 7-8 inches long in years. |

We have a new crop of baby bulls out back, they obvi get a pass and still scare the crap out of me when I nearly step on one.
This one the other night was hanging out on the still warm concrete patio. They definitely keep the rodents down, and in a scary nature moment I watched an adult bull kill and eat 3 baby rabbits. The little rattlers we have would not get a pass in my yard, but we never get them in the yard.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By towgunner11H: Anything that eats rats and mice is worth having around. Diet and Nutrition Texas coral snakes are carnivores. They prey on other snakes, primarily earth snakes, and other small fossorial species. They also occasionally eat small lizards, and rarely rodents. DIET Carnivore I doubt they're big enough to eat a mouse. They may try but their head is about the size of your pinky finger. So that leaves them to eat all the other good things I want in my yard that are not harmful at all. No thanks. |

I have had an aggressive coral snake around my shop. I know they are normally shy but this one was not.
He was dispatched. We have a policy on our ranch. All venomous snakes making a living near the house, shop, or tractor shed are killed. My parents are in their late years, can’t see the best and move slow. So that is for their safety. All other snakes on the remaining fields get photo taken of them. That’s it. It’s also false that coral snakes have difficulty getting venom in their prey or “have to bite you between the fingers”. They can poison you on first bite anywhere on your body. The chewing action when they strike is managing their prey, not an attempt to eventually inject venom. We do have an abundance of Blue Indigos. As per our policy, free pass anywhere.  Attached File |

Small dirt road middle of nowhere. Grandpa brought the car to a stop because " Now why did the pipeliners just lay a pipeline across the road and didn't provide any ramps to cross it"? Evidently this was a common practice to lay the pipe and come back to trench and bury it later, but if crossing a road they would have ramps to drive over it. He said it was the largest Blue Indigo he had ever saw. Anyway , he gets out to see if there's a way around it. He gave it a kick thinking it was a pipe and it slithered off.. lol |

Any attempt to kill, harm, harass, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, trap, capture, collect, or engage eastern indigo snakes is prohibited by the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Penalties include a maximum fine of $25,000 for civil violations and up to $50,000 and/or imprisonment for criminal offenses. But hey, we all know how our resident GD anarchists care about that. Good on you for letting those be. Very beneficial snakes. That's Eastern indigos, not Texas indigos. Not sure if the Texas subspecies is protected or not. A big Florida reptile breeder got shut down amd semt to prison for selling wild caught easterns. |

If you want your man card stamped, may I suggest the African Cobra at 11pm for a real challenge! @18B30 Are you joking? Go read the threads about CCWing inside your home.

Just spread your knees to keep tension on your pants and belt. |
