How to Kill a Snake  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. jonjee0203 (4680) 2 years ago

When I was young, I stayed in a rural area. So, we have all kinds of uninvited guests that come into the house at night. We had centipedes and scorpions and especially snakes or all kinds.

My dad used to tell me the only way to kill a snake is not to use a stick but a bamboo cane. Sticks may break but a bamboo stick will not and it will kill the snake before it causes you harm.

Do you believe in this?suspicious

Once I was walking in a grassy woods, and a snake chased me. I saw it running after me and I was so scared. I ran as fast as I could and didn't bother to look back. I would not have the nerve to kill a snake unless it is poison and tried to attacked me, then I would use a spray if possible to try to kill the snake. I wouldn't want to be in harm's way of a python. cry

Do you know about these facts of a snake?
Snakes have eisted on the earth for 70 million years. They can reach 50-100 feet in length. They are unique creatures.

We need to know which snakes are poisonous and which aren't. However, in a fit of fear, we just lash out and kill the poor thing. These days, if you can locate a snake, it is best to get the Games Warden to come by to catch it. Saves everybody concerns and the snake can be disposed to a zoo.rolleyes

I was taught to use a hoe, myself. Daddy taught me to just get the hoe and pull the snake out and hit it with the hoe. We don't have bamboo plants around here. This is awfulshocked! I'm sorry youall had to deal with such things at nightthumbdown. This was considered a rural area when I was growing up but I never had to deal with anything like this getting in the house. I've had to deal with mice getting in the house at nightfear. That was bad enough. Kathy.


myLot reputation of 97/100. jonjee0203 (4680)  2 years ago

Well, if you used a hoe, you may cut it into halves. The fear is if it is not dead, it may bite us. For those bitten, best to quickly get medical aid. some suck the poison out as first aid before the arrival of the paramedic. Would you dare to suck out the poison?rasp


myLot reputation of 99/100. cyrus123 (3255)  2 years ago

I don't think so. There are some snakes around here that are not poisonous. They actually do more good than harm. In this case, I think it's better to leave them alone. Some people think a snake is a snake, though. Kathy.

In my place they kill snakes by stabbing or cutting it with a long knife or stone to death until it expires. it is also depending on the kind of snake like a non-poisonous snake like python they are easy to caught since they have no poison. While those poisonous snake they are more careful to dealt with it.


myLot reputation of 97/100. jonjee0203 (4680)  2 years ago

Wow, these are strange ways to kill snakes.Anyway, it it works, that is all it matters. I was looking at the earlier post of using a hoe to do so. Mighty interesting too.lol

there is many way of slaughtering a snake, the most often used way are throw it to ground and make it drunk, but you don't need to kill a snake, you just want them off you, deal with them by lethal means is not necessary


myLot reputation of 97/100. jonjee0203 (4680)  2 years ago

Goodness gracious-I was not talking about slaughtering them. We are not so mercenary or gluttony, are we? I was just saying that in rural areas, when one is confronted by a snake that creeps into our house-we are fearful. We are afraid it will bite the children. We are afraid that they will eat the smaller farm animals.

Also, I wonder how you want to make the drunk by throwing it on the ground? The more sensible way would be to date it out and have rounds of cocktails and li.quour. Then it will be drunk and you then can throw it on the ground.lol
