All Snake Killers
Click Here
God has made us different,
he made us so unique.
We slither on the ground,
we have no hands and feet.
Though you find us scary,
or maybe just plain weird,
our intentions are not to hurt you
or cause you such great fear.
Our venom's not meant for humans
but to help us when we eat.
So, please stop the senseless killing
before we're all extinct.
We're not saying you have to love us
or tell us we're the best.
God's the one who created us.
So, treat us with respect.

Fears are educated into us
and can, if we wish,
be educated out.
-Karl A. Merringer
A righteous man cares for
the needs of his animal...
Proverbs 12:10
The snake is an animal.
It has a backbone and a heart.
It has red blood.
It drinks water and eats food.
It breathes air and feels fear
just like every other
animal in the world.
And, it's in a body that's
the hardest thing
for the average
person to understand.

For those that may not necessarily be a fan of snakes, you've come to the right place.
First, the bad news -
You can't eliminate snakes from your property.
Now, the good news -
There's still something you can do!
If you're a person who believes they MUST kill every snake they see, then learning to live with them on your property in no way sounds like a compromise you're willing to make. So, before you make your final decision to leave this page and continue your life of "the only good snake is a dead snake", wait just a few more seconds. Not wanting venomous snakes sharing your yard is understandable! But it's extremely important to understand why killing just any snake you see can actually make your problem worse. You see, a snake on your property isn't there by accident. It is there because you have two main things - food snakes like to eat and places snakes like to hide. When you indiscriminately kill a non-venomous snake, the food and shelter it sought on your property is still there even after the snake is dead. Another snake will eventually take its place to fill that niche in nature. Imagine filling a bird feeder full of bird seed in your wooded backyard and not wanting birds around. That's crazy right? When we decide to leave the habitat around our homes suitable for snakes and then not want snakes, that's kind of crazy too.
So, to really help the situation lets' try to instead lessen the amount of snakes you encounter in the first place. Here's some help in doing that.
