If you've got some buddies who have no fear of snakes get them together. Get some gardening gloves incase it's bigger and angrier than you think. Racers and coachwhips can hack you up alot more than you would think (and watch your face). Find where it goes when it retreats to the fence and have one of your buddies on the other side waiting and corner it or run it into one of your friends.

Truth is, if it's in the open you're faster on your feet than it is. They seem so fast because they dodge obstacles alot easier than people do so just outsmart it.

Get it in the open and throw a shirt or cloth over it and just pick it up. That always works well for the "angry at life" racer.

Good luck. They world needs more people willing to step up like you.
