Luckily this was just a little guy in my blind, but I must have almost stepped on him or put my hand on him when I crawled in about noon.

My wife likes snakes, She has had a few as pets. When she was in high school and collage she had a nine foot boa in a big cage at her parents house, but when she moved out west she found her another home. Later we were going through some of her boxes of junk and there was a nine foot shed skin from the boa. We gave it to a friend in Ashland that was having an issue with bums hanging out behind his business after hours. He put the skin out where it was easy to see and cured his issues with the bums over night.

When I was a kid, my dad was planting a new ground field for someone an my job was to drive around and get logs out of the field. I went to get one large log and had to put my hand all under it to get it up on the tractor. When I went back there was a cottonmouth under it right where I put my hands. .410 took care of him.

Last year my brother caught this guy:

Coming home from work one evening a few years ago, there was a bull snake about 5' long stretched across the driveway at the neighbors lane. My window was down so I looked out at it. That snake slowly idled off the lane giving me the stink eye the whole time. Had a little bull snake about a foot long coiled up on one of the patio chairs, little bugger just hissed at me and said that was his spot! They have attitudes.
