When I was around 15 I built a volley ball net from used hay bale twine and stretched it between two pine trees in our yard. We lived in the middle of nowhere in BFE Kemper county Mississippi. My cousin, just up the dirt road from me, and I were playing volley ball and the ball fell to the side and I walked over to retrieve it. There to behold was a copperhead, snakes were fair game no matter what they were. We managed to stuff it into a huge glass pickle jar (no plastic containers back then), punched holes in the lid and my cousin Mike took it home and stowed it under his bed. His mom, my Aunt Arlene, found it and had a conniption fit. We were pretty pound of our catch but we didn't do that again....

When I first arrived in Montana I became fast friends with a couple of rattlesnake hunters. We would catch dozens on a good day. Since we did not want to damage skins or heads, the snakes were dispatched by snipping the spinal cords with a small pair of scissors through the open mouths, while holding them from the back of the their necks. Learned early on not to ever hold snakes by both hands, since they could then constrict, and pull an end away from your grip... perhaps, leaving the wrong end freely swinging, and knowing you were attached on the other. Happened to the friends' son, who was showing off for a neighbor kid. The snake fought the two-handed grip. Son got excited and released the wrong end. Snake swung around and nailed him on his butt. Fortunately, the rattler had been recently milked, so no significant reaction to the bite.

Who's going to clean up the cobra poo on the step?

[Toolmaker51]

Cobra Poo crew of course

Cobra Poo crew of course

yes but this also means they have to hire a cobra poo cleanup crew, as qualified as the lady was at extracting the cobra was, she probably just used a swatch of cloth and wiped it from the step.
More interesting would be who was going to suture up the cobra's nose after it struck the inside of the container and left the bloody mark

[Toolmaker51]

Well...... probably a Cobra snoot and septum suture specialist?

I'll run out of quips soon, promise.
