your post: "To those of you who tried to be helpful to this message i thank you.. to the others and you know who you are you are very rude people... i do for your information have a snake book but i could not find the snake in it... i also dont go around just killing snakes to kill them.. but when it comes to protecting my family i will (sorry)..i also did not kill this snake my husband did..you are not very understanding people to make fun of someone who has a real fear of something instead you just make fun of them, i was not raised around snakes so i dont understand them and fear them.. so instead of teaching me you just make fun of me.. that is very sad other people had posted about dead snakes they had killed or found dead but for some reason that was ok....."



No, it is NEVER ok for me to see posts of dead snakes on here, and speaking of "rude" behavior, it is very inappropriate and RUDE to go to a forum for animal lovers and post pics of mutilated creatures, doesn't make a difference if it is a snake or a puppy or kitten. Your BLIND fear and ignorance is NOT an excuss, neither is saying, "oh, I didn't kill it, my husband did" oh, that makes it ok now. I seriously doubt you tried to stop him! If you get a ticket and go to court, you can't plead ignorance of the law and expect that to be a legitimate excuss. Now I know these forums are here to help people, and I understand those who believe that we shouldn't respond negativly, even to posts like this one that is in very bad taste, but I've seen this type of post again and again, and I do NOT believe any of these people really care about learning and respecting snakes/reptiles, they just want to be able to tell everyone WHAT they killed. You tell them what it is and how harmless it is, and they say "thanks!", then next week they see another one and kill it too! I will be kind and helpful to anyone who TRUELY cares about learning about the creatures and/or the hobby; but I also have no problem with insulting those who were insulting first, and you cannot deny pics like that are insulting to us who love these animals.
