Found this twat sitting in my porch early this morning in Houston. I relocated him to Terry Hershey Park. Dude was a lot more spry than I would have thought for a coral snake. He got really agitated.

So public service announcement for the snake curious. Three years ago I got tired of being afraid of snakes and never knowing the species. So I started following snake threads on Facebook and after a few years I can now tell with about a 90% accuracy the species of any given snake. It has not only made me more comfortable around snakes, it’s made me more useful with friends, neighbors and family whenever there is a snake situation. I highly recommend getting educated.

Some yada yada’s just mean more. Example: this type of non-venomous snake eats pests.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

It's funny. I grew up in the woods of NE Texas where we had lots of copperheads and cottonmouths - but also a lot of king snakes. I got real good at discerning a cottonmouth from a king, but whenever I'd go to our ranch in Jack County, I just blindly assumed every watersnek that looked remotely like a cottonmouth was food for my shotgun. It took this thread over the years as an adult to teach me otherwise. 

 

That being said I've never been afraid of snakes even as a kid. If I saw a venomous one I would just take a breath and back away. If it wasn't venomous I might pick it up and go scare my sisters with it. Now spiders.... fuck spiders. I will blowtorch the building.

I try not to wish death on anyone (well, except persons driving slow in the #1 lane, but I'm sure you join me in finding that kind of shit simply cannot be tolerated in civilized society) . . . but my attitude is that if this clown happens to die from his snake bite, he goddam well deserves it and there won't be any lamentation from me.  Assholes like this who not only put themselves but also their neighbors at risk by illegally harboring exceedingly poisonous sneks are selfish, unthinking bastards.  If I were a neighbor, I'd be burning the house to the ground in case the authorities happened to overlook any other taipans or cobras or fer-de-lances, etc. that this maniac happened to be harboring at the time he fucked around and found out.

Holy shit. Fuck that guy. 
 

Doesn’t require a license to own in SC. Wow. 

 

I read in another article that (1) this dumbass is a high school teacher (!); and (2) he free-handles his sneks (including the venomous ones like the inland taipan), i.e., he doesn't use gloves.  Kinda reminds me of the idiots who make "serpent handling" a religious event.
