Catching a snake in a plastic bottle - GIF

That's not how I would want to start my day..............

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.

When we first moved here I would kill 12 to 15 rattle snakes every year right around the house. Not that I cared much for dispatching them I'd rather they stayed in the fields or the woods. I just couldn't abide by them thinking they should be anywhere near the house I have trouble hearing their rattle especially the smaller ones which are more dangerous, and jane has difficulty in seeing them with 1 bad eye it makes it even more difficult for her to see them. but this last year we didn't see smell or hear a single snake of any kind I attribute that to having 4 dogs all of which have been bitten at least once their shots help and a Bottle of Benadryl does the rest A dozen barn cats keep all of the snake's natural food source killed off as well as they will kill smaller snakes themselves. Our small flock of noisy Guinea foul do their job of helping to keep snakes at bay as well. I'd be just as happy to be able to declare my place a snake free zone and maybe I could one day if we decide to get a couple of donkeys and some goats

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.
