[QUOTE="Richard Harrow, post: 967946, member: 29614"] That is freakin' incredible. I have always loved snakes, have had a few, still have a 3 foot ball python upstairs. While covering a route last summer, I came upon a 4 foot California King Snake that someone carelessly released into the wild. The whole neighborhood came out to watch the UPS driver try to capture this huge black and white serpent. I caught him after about 5 minutes, but because he was extremely nasty (I could tell it wasn't handled much) and because my wife would kill me if I brought another home, I called the local animal control and they took him. I don't know what became of him, but a snake of that size poses a serious threat to small children and/or small domestic animals, so that's why I did what I did lol. Not sure I'd do the same with a copperhead, rattler, or cottonmouth. I've never had the guts to try and handle a venomous snake. I'm such a pansy lol. [/QUOTE]
