I'm NOT a snake guy. Hate 'em.
Around here we have copperheads, timber and eastern rattlers and moccasins.
If I see one and it looks anything like any of those, I'm gone or it's dead.
And by "looks anything like" I mean anything that resembles a lizard without legs.
I have these neat little shot shells for .38 and .22. Very effective when firing over your shoulder while screaming and at a sprint.
