We don't see those in my neck of the woods but it does get your attention.

That snake looks like it was clubbed by the B.C. cave woman.

Dean.....funny you should say that. This water hose is out in the pasture (picture hay field) about 500 yards from the house. I had put on my backpack sprayer with just the concentrated Roundup in it, and walked up the road to this faucet to fill the tank closer to my spraying project. No Snake boots....shorts and flip flops.I saw this guy as I was reaching for the end of the hose, and he definitely saw me because he snapped up into a defensive coil. the only weapon I had was the little wimpy plastic spray wand for the sprayer, and it is only about 20" long. I am sure I looked a sight, on my hands and knees repeatedly thumping the rascal on the noggin with that little tube! When I was sure he had succumbed, I walked to the house to get a hoe to carry him back for show and tell for Robin.halfway back with the snake draped over the hoe handle, he "woke up" and slithered off the handle onto the road and was making for cover, so he got a few "lizzy borden style whacks with the hoe.

Holy smokes, not certain which is more deadly, the genetic altering roundup or the snake. Problem is nothing really works better than Roundup.
I'll bet if you had a tree to climb this would have been you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSxAc8jHBdk |

I'll take my chances with the Roundup and leave Mark to his coral snakes! Glyphosate (Roundup trade name) targets genes that are only found in plants. There is a lot of recent evidence that shows Roundup is not carcinogenic or genotoxic to humans.

I have never seen a Coral Snake in the wild and hope it stays that way. They have been seen on a place not too far from my parents'
I have seen more than my fair share of Rattlesnakes, Moccasins and Copperheads |
