Plano, TX. What kind? |

Quoted: Quoted: I killed three Copperheads today down at the lake. 45ACP snake shot. You're my hero.  I think this is the link you are looking for. |

Quoted:
It's kind of hard to tell from your pic, but I thought I saw the characteristic banding on the head of the Tx Brown. If it's a solid color, then it's a rough earth snake. I toss out two every day as the cat keeps dragging them in: http://www.austinreptileservice.net/image/roughearth2.jpg That's it. |

He walks in, meows, drops them on the floor and then lays down. Lazy bastard. Every single night I toss out one minimum. Very harmless, docile snakes. |

He's right. they have the same venom characteristics as garter snakes. It's a mild venom that is basically harmless to most larger verts. |

The wife would be throwing his dead body out with the snake. |

Heck no I would be keeping cat in or out he's not bringing in snakes might be a harmless one today and a baby rattle snack tomorrow |

That's what I first thought of. |

Note to self: if you ever visit Texas and need a place to sleep, don't ask Zhukov. TRG's house would be safer. |

Quoted: He would do that once in my house. The wife would be throwing his dead body out with the snake. My wife loathes snakes too, but she's pretty rational about it as long as she doesn't have to touch them. The rat snake we had in our front tree a few years ago - now that was a different story. She was NOT happy when I grabbed the snake in order to take it to an abandoned field, but then dropped it when it squirmed unexpectedly.   For reference: My son was close to 6ft tall in that picture. |

Zhukov is a damn fine cook and I won't have to sleep worried he'll invade my bed. I just fixed this tonight - a spicy cajun crawfish and shrimp pasta with sauteed cremini mushrooms, scallions, and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.  |

You freaked out when it moved in your hands? You big pussy.
