I still kill any snake that isn't immediately recognizable as nonpoisonous.

It would have eaten a lot of spiders and insects around the place. I grew up on a farm and still live in the country, we and others I know just left them alone, as other enlightened country folk did. I showed my boys snakes around here when they were young so that they would respect them and not have any irrational fears of them. It's all part of living with and in the country.<br />Dakota DocAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231305164855240671.post-65663853758361080482013-07-16T14:50:52.253-06:002013-07-16T14:50:52.253-06:00As someone said above.

Each center is different I imagine but I have hauled off over 3 tons of farm scrap this Summer. From parts of an old manure spreader to rusted through pipe and bent hay mangers. If you take appliances be sure the freon line is cut and keep the iron/steel together don't mix in aluminum or other metals they usually are weighed in a different area. No batteries either.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231305164855240671.post-69467744993295334232013-07-16T14:29:47.113-06:002013-07-16T14:29:47.113-06:00The spring frame would make a great pasture drag f...The spring frame would make a great pasture drag for knocking down and spreading manure piles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231305164855240671.post-23145499942252638352013-07-16T14:25:34.108-06:002013-07-16T14:25:34.108-06:00My daughter would be mad at you!

I hate snakes and used to kill them on sight, but after many lectures about their beneficial aspects and to avoid her wrath, I spare them now. Unless they are copperheads or rattlers, which I shoot and just keep quiet about it. I would send her a copy of your picture and I am sure she could identify the snake but she would surely get mad at both of us. I don't think there are any green poisonous snakes in the states but I'm no herpetologist.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231305164855240671.post-80749858964835215902013-07-16T13:58:50.371-06:002013-07-16T13:58:50.371-06:00I agree with everyone the snake may not have been ...I agree with everyone the snake may not have been dangerous.
