Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Another option is to sell the snakes to a pet supplier. Check to find out if that species is considered endangered or if it is on a protected list first. A zoo might also like to have a fully grown speciman.. If it is on the protected list for your area then your parks and wildlife service can possibly help with trapping and removal. Warehouses will often give one a good home for the rodent control. Also some farmers would be glad to have him around their barns as well as grain elevators. Feed and seed stores. They keep birds and pigeons down as well since they are a birds' natural enemy too. There are lots of places you could tke him rather than just dumped in the woods somewhere. Jim Payne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 I sort of think that the worst place to take Mr Snake would be a pet supply store for somebody to buy as a pet. What usually happens is a novelty period ends for the person buying the exotic pet (this happens with “normal” pets as well) and then the “pet” is abandoned, or is caged, as a snake probably would be, and isn’t fed or kept in clean quarters, etc. But on the other hand, if you one didn’t live in a rural area, a rural area would be a good idea, or a grain silo. I try not to harm snakes because I don’t like to deal with mice in my home. If one has snakes around, usually one does not have to deal with mice. I have cats around, but still have to deal with mice because the cats don’t appear to be very good hunters. Course, I keep them well fed as well. I’ve said before that cats (pets) would seem to have, at this point in time) been selected and bred for other qualities than hunters. They are in the hunting, predator, family of animals, but that is not their major characteristic. Usually they do not thrive if you make them hunt for their food all the time. They can, but most do not. On the other hand, snakes do not get along well with cats. The snake crawls around through the grass and is obviously something to play with for a cat. And eat. Just a tasty little bit of dessert to go along with the 9-lives. But unless one has a neighbor that goes out of the way to kill snakes (I have had one recently) a snake population can stay in balance even considering cats. Unless there are way too many cats. So, as far as snakes eating one’s frogs, one could get a cat and let the eater be eaten. Course, cats like frogs as well. On the other hand, if the pond could be looked into, one would see literally thousands of frog eggs. One could ignore getting a cat, ignore the snake and the few frogs that it eats, and just enjoy the frogs that one does have, and the pond, and even come to enjoy watching the snake living in his own environment.. They can be quite beautiful. Hope that doesn’t give any readers the eebie-jeebies.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Hi Jim, Thanks for the ideas – the snakes in our area are just regular garden snakes – nothing endangered, protected, or unusual enough that a zoo would want them. But farmers and/or warehouses is a good idea.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Hello Jasmina, What part of the country do you live in and what does the snake look like? I may be able to help you identify the type. Also, if the snake is not poisonous I would worry more about spreading lime around with children in the yard. If it can burn a snake through those hard scales imagine what it could do to tender skin. I welcome snakes in my yard we have lots of rodents here. When my children were young I taught them how to handle them, how to avoid them, which were bad and which were OK. In country life that may be the best thing to do. Flo’s situation may be a little more unique. Water moccasins and Copper heads are not on the top of the poisonous list; bit I still would not want to get bit by one.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Hi Jasmina, You can look up a picture of your snake on enature dot com ..I do that whenever I get yet another new creepy crawly.. We have black snakes and rat snakes all under our house..as much as I hate it , I keep them around because out in the country here , we have a lot of rattle snakes, not to mention rodents. My barn is over run with rattlers right nowL I have to collect eggs with a gun every morning. I wish I didn’t have to , but there’s a price to pay for free range organic eggs I guess. You never know, you might have some have a very beneficial snake.:-) Karen Jasmina Alisic [jalisic579] Wednesday, April 13, 2005 12:21 PM herbal remedies RE: Herbal Remedies - Re: snakes Doug, It is probably water snake, it is gray, like stone, and long about 5', very small head. I don't think it is poisonous. But I don't know anything about snakes. I live in Missouri. Thanks Jasmina Doug Taylor <taylords wrote: Hello Jasmina, What part of the country do you live in and what does the snake look like? I may be able to help you identify the type. Also, if the snake is not poisonous I would worry more about spreading lime around with children in the yard. If it can burn a snake through those hard scales imagine what it could do to tender skin. I welcome snakes in my yard we have lots of rodents here. When my children were young I taught them how to handle them, how to avoid them, which were bad and which were OK. In country life that may be the best thing to do. Flos situation may be a little more unique. Water moccasins and Copper heads are not on the top of the poisonous list; bit I still would not want to get bit by one.

It is not poisonous, but we just cant have her in our back yard, she can move little bit further, my children wouldn't go out if they know that I saw snake in back yard. We are just not used to it. Thank you for your advice. jasmina peela <peela wrote: <<<Re: Herbal Remedies -snakes Hi all, Please help me to tell snake to go away from my home. It seems it is water snake, we are close to creek, and she is long one, and live in my back yard under the concrete wall. What to do. Jasmina>>>> Hi Jasmina, Here in Australia, where snakes can be plentiful if you live in the country, garlic is sometimes used. One place I lived in was really in the middle of the bush, but the owner had planted garlic around the house, and I never saw a snake around the house.There are some very poisonous snakes here. I have heard of scattering garlic cloves around too. Snakes apparently really dont like garlic. If it is a non poisonous snake though, I would let her be. They are beautfiful creatures. I have lived in houses where pythons live in the rafters. Snakes are almost always! more scared of us than we are of them. Peela Federal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Mary, I have nine dogs and they have never been hurt by it...So unless they are wet on the belly and rub their bellies on it , there shouldn't be a problem. Snakes usually slither through grass, so they are damp, and that is the reason it burns them...and honestly, it isn't a bad burn, just an uncomfortable tingle that makes them turn around. I also mix lime and water and salt, make a wash out of it, and paint the barn and milk room, to keep snakes and flies away. I also sit on the milkstand in shorts and it doesn't burn me. It smells very sweet and clean. Flo - mlw Hi Flo, Will this hurt dogs any? I'd like to give it a try but I have threedogs. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Thanks Flo. I am going to give the lime a try this spring. We have copperheads around here. It sounds like you have a yardful (of dogs) LOL! We don't have a barn but I may paint the sheds and the garden fence with it.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Hi Jasmina, Grey, about 5 feet long with a small head sounds like a Yellow bellied Racer with a close second being the Yellow bellied water snake (although, the head of that snake is not small.) The following links describe the most common snakes of Missouri. The first is for the non poisonous snakes, the second poisonous and the third is some general information about the snakes in your area which do apply to most areas of the country. http://www.conservation.state.mo.us/nathis/herpetol/snake/snake1.htm#nv18 http://www.conservation.state.mo.us/nathis/herpetol/snake/snake2.htm http://www.conservation.state.mo.us/nathis/herpetol/snakep/ Before I had children I collected snakes as a hobby, lectured at a few colleges in the area and did volunteer work for the herpetological section of Steinhart Aquarium in San Francisco. Pit vipers (rattle snakes for the most part) were my specialty. Because of my specialty I gave it up when I had children. Through my own carelessness I was bitten twice by rattlesnakes and I didn’t want that carelessness to involve my children. From the sounds of it you don’t have anything to worry about. However, not being there, not seeing the snake with my own eyes I can’t say with absolute assuredness. Study the photos in the web sites I have provided not only to identify the snake in your garden, but to learn which to be worried about. Snakes in general are beneficial to have around and can be interesting to watch. One thing about the poisonous snakes in your area, the Water Moccasins are the dumbest snakes I have ever encountered they are also among the most persistent. If they feel threatened and see their tail wiggle, they will bit it. If swat at with a broom they will chase it all other snakes unless they are panic stricken will run away from a broom, not the Moccasins they have a temper. They are a short stocky snake with a LARGE head once you see one you will recognize it from as far away as your vision will allow.
