O/T...Any snake knowledgeable folks here? Cross posted...
Submitted by AmyandSophia on April 24, 2012 - 6:19pmI have a question. I have found a small Texas Garter Snake in my carport. Do I want to kill it or move it? I have small pets (cats and dogs) that I don't want bitten, and yes, they ARE venomous but not lethal to a human at all. But do I want any venomous snake near my pets? I don't think so, but if this is a beneficial....oy. What should I do with it?

I would move it
Take it for a nice ride somewhere. Be careful.
Good luck with cleaning the carport.

umm...can you sling shoot it somewhere REAL far?lol
we don't want them around esp where the animals are...humans too ofcourse!
how helpful am i- NOT!!! lol
UPDATE. I caught it!
And put it in a bucket with a shirt over it. I glanced that way about half and hour later just in time to see it slither right out of that bucket and it is gone, gone, gone. Lovely, so I still have a snake in my yard, now I just don't know WHERE in my yard:-(
Figures!

That's the way I used to catch mice.
Except I used a cup instead of a bucket and I would carry it out to the yard. (I caught these mostly in the offices where I worked. Ididn't want them killing them if they didn't have to do so.)
