Well some of you may remember some months ago my wife found a very large black snake in the pantry and I disposed of it with a BK2. There were mixed opinions about that - killing an animal I did not intend to eat etc. - and I understand all that. But it seemed right at the time because I do not know snakes (which are poisonous and which are not) and I had neither training nor equipment to handle a snake.

Today my wife found a small snake in the back room and with a pair of heavy gloves on I caught him quickly by the tail with one hand and then the other just behind his head and got him out of and well away from the house. All the while with him trying to bite me or at least looking like that. Tried to take a pic of him but that did not work out. No idea what he was.

Anyway for all of you who think I handled it wrong last time I did it differently this time. Not really knowing what I was doing... :-)

If he looks anything like this little guy that Thrillbilly was terrorizing, then you're good.

All snakes will try to "bite" you as a defense mechanism, hoping it will deter you from eating them. Even little guys like this.
 
No K9 he did not look like that - no stripes - medium dull gray color with a pattern like I have seen in pictures of rattle snakes. But no rattle. Little skinny guy about 18" long.
 
Sounds like a grey ratsnake. Not poisonous and fabulous rodent hunters.
 
did he have visible fangs when he tried to bite...?
 
Good on you for not killing him. Too many people go overboard when dealing with snakes, and most of them won't do much of anything to you unless really provoked.
 
When we lived in the Shawnee we had a corn snake that lived in the basement. Kay named it Sally. Only saw her upstairs a couple of times and we never had a mouse problem..:D
 
yeah, like i've said before, when you have a snake in the house, there's FOOD in the house, most likely. you might see the FOOD, but the snake knows it's there.

if the snake LIVES in the house, well, it's found a lot of FOOD :)

if there are SNAKES in your mother effing house, then there's a lot of FOOD. call Sam Jackson for a party :) he'll bring the whoopass :>

I hope yor mom ain't counting on you for protection against the snake. We all saw you get owned by that copperhead at the gathering. And you had a gun! Lol!
