Yea kids are way to curious to let the snake live when we were going to be around its den all day long there really wasn't much of a choice.I probably would have killed it as well being that people were going to be working in the area and kids were running around. Most of the time I'll let them go on about their business.
i just took a bobcat to clear some tall weeds.they were head high and all I could think about was scooping up a big snake and it jumping in the cab with me.Glad I didn't see that pic before I went.lol
