There are a couple of new photos that were posted on the Snakes Needing Identification Section of the Photo Album.
Both of the posters did not bother to provide any information as to where they live, or what weapon they used to chop up the harmless snakes, so I will not attempt to identify the bodys any further than this:
barbara spilatore (jmac) on 10/30/05, you have killed a HARMLESS juvenile ratsnake.
L.N.T. (banana) on 11/06/05, you have killed a HARMLESS garter snake.
Both of these snakes are HARMLESS. The ratsnake eats pests like mice, and the garter snake eats insects.
Both play an important role in nature and should not be killed.
If you are not sure what your local venomous snakes look like, perhaps you should take a trip to the library and look at a reptile field guide, or look at the photos in the venomous snakes section of the photo album at this site.

Oh what a world it would be if we could get this message through to all the "the only good snake is a dead snake" crowd.

A bar owner up the road from my house killed an eastern milk snake yesterday. I came out of the woods and he told me that he just killed one. He knows I love snakes, but he went further into detail and told me how he saw it and stomped its head in with his boot. He then told me that he took one of the big rocks on the property and smashed it some more to make sure it was dead. I dont see how people can kill another living thing and feel no remorse.

Yea, I was at the beach last weekend in a store and the man checking me out was staring at my SHHS shirt. He said " that looks like a canebrake", I said yes it is, thinking that maybe he liked snakes. Well to make a long story short, he likes to eat rattlesnakes, and he is involved in rattlesnake roundups. He also said that "that the only good snake is a dead snake". Well I hope that the next snake he eats does'nt make him sick.

The site is for educating the public on mainly living reptiles what the hell is going on when people are killing snakes that are clearly marked and could be easily i.d.'d I really can not belive in this day and age that people who live around snakes do not take any steps in finding out what non venomous snakes exist alongside the rattlers etc. sorry guys this has sickend me to the bone I am a "hunter" but There is a huge difference between the two as my quarry is identified before any further action is taken, and that knowledge comes from learning how to sustain a balanced population not just a killing spree,and reptiles need the same balance in population but as proven when round ups are held which also sicken me, the local populations dwindle dramatically and I dont know how long it would be before there numbers are back to a respectable level,most angry KIERON,KEYZ.
