QuoteOne day, Lyman Hepworth reached to turn on a light and discovered the pull cord was actually a snake.
That would WAY creep me out.

Endangered or not, I'd be takin a shovel to those little things

Don't forget the movie, Snakes on a Train (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0843873/).  :)

But yeah, I wouldn't kill something unless it deserved to be killed.  And being somewhere you wouldn't expect it (like a house) isn't reason enough for me.  I'd sooner call Animal Control and let them deal with the problem, it's safer and nicer.

Wow, you need help.  Have you ever tried poking your head out of your little box?

Then that was obviously the best solution, and it's fine with me.  But they're the experts, not me, so I'd rather let them make the call.

Alright, just making sure. :P

I'd call the animal police too.

Are you crazy? If a snake jumped on my head when I opened a door, I'd be going ape-shit.

Pff, please.  They wouldn't touch my ass.  It's an endangered species.

Yeah, and maybe we're different, the last thing I'd do is try to kill it.  I'd slam the door and call 911 and tell them to send somebody to get the snake out of my house.  I sure as hell wouldn't try attacking it.

In that case, I think I would attack it.  I'd just stomp on its head or something like that.  My dad kills rattle snakes at the golf course he goes to with his golf clubs almost every time he goes.

I'd be more worried about getting bitten.  Let a professional handle it, for me.  Plus, in addition to the safety thing, I still wouldn't want to kill an animal unless I had no choice.

I'd be worried too, but I think I'd still kill it.

I'd definitely kill a snake in that situation, even if I knew it was possible to call animal cops.

What happens if you call 911 & in the time it takes for them to get out there (probably a GOOD while) the snake hides somewhere new where they cant find it/get to it?
