@UMDHGIC

Can you give me some advice on where to find snakes? I hiked a few times in the woods and couldnt find anything.

I had one of these in my living room, I wasn't trained to remove it through non-lethal means therefor I had to use lethal means to remove it. It was such a pretty animal, it attempted to bite me when I tried to remove it non-lethally, it was not worth the risk. Very pretty. :(
