I live in a swamp, dude. Also, I don't catch poisonous snakes. There is no fire department where I live, & if you call the volunteer fire department for a snake they are just going to laugh at you & tell you to shoot it. Also, the nearest cities animal control doesn't cover my rural ass.
If I could have ran it off I would have, but due to the record flooding we've had, there was literally nowhere to run it to that would have fixed the situation. I didn't want it biting my dogs (I've already lost one to a snakebite before) or my nephews who play in that yard.
Anyhow, my friend's friend ate it & is going to epoxy the hide & mount it.

My friend popped its head off with a shovel. I was going to shoot it but they wanted the skin intact & undamaged as much as possible.
