Maybe we should just kill all the humans and let the animals rule the planet

I respect snakes. Never saw one in the wild but they do have a purpose. Glad to see that this guy respected it as well and left it be only looked at it.

@demartyr1 Sigh. Guess you just don't get it. I DO respect nature. I realize how powerful and dangerous "all things wild" can be under the right circumstances and I stay clear as much as possible. I don't go looking for trouble in nature' I'm also not under the delusion which apparently holds you, the idea that everything in nature is part of one big equation, including human beings. That's crap. Nelieve whatever you wish. Nature is here to serve man, not the other way around. The snake dies.

@storypeddler Once again, cause apparently you are STILL a bit confused. Snakes (even the species that have evolved venom) are not out to attack and kill bipedal Humans. With that said ACCIDENTS do occur, which gives no support to your ifnorance and lack of respect for nature. If you are so scared of the REALITY that governs ALL living "things" on this Planet; then do us ALL a favor and move to a Metropolitan City which has already destroyed the beauty of "all things wild"!

@demartyr1 ROFL. I find you mildly amusing. You don't have to agree with me. You are free to sleep with these creatures if you wish. Nonetheless, if I find one on my property, I will kill it immediately. A poisonous snake living in the immediate vicinity of human beings is a threat to their safety. If a small child stumbled upon this snake and was bitten, it could be a death sentence. I don't go seek out snakes to kill, but a poisonous one in my yard dies because I value me more than I value it.

@storypeddler

"Top of the food chain?" Oh, I see, did you smelt the ore and create your own rifle, or just go out and purchase it from a shop? Go swimming in the ocean Mr. Ignorant (ie. you then just entered the food chain-moron!).Your lack of respect for nature and uneducated, cowardly mentality is sickening! Oh and "go hug a tree" really? You mean that is all you can come up with? That was the 60's duffus. LET IT GO! I hope your silly little ego boosting rifle backfires, you're already blind!

These are like one of my favorite snakes (my top 5, top to bottom goes, Cobras, Rattlesnakes, Anacondas, Pythons, and Copperheads).

@MBJB07 Like the Predator with that infrared vision and sneaky camoflauge.
