Bummer.
If possible, you should look up some wildlife friendly reporters in the local press and see if you could co-write a brief, cautionary blurb in the local paper accompanied by one of those photos (maybe the last one?).
Sometimes you can reach a lot of people by saying something as simple as "hey, these big old snakes aren't poisonous, they eat rats and other rodents, and deserve some space if not respect from the rest of us."
If you have any local zoos, nature centers, etc. with pits on display to the public, you can also see about getting comments from a keeper or PR person to include in the article. They will help bolster the message, and they get some free press out of the deal
