Don't know, I just throw them away. I normally just try to scare the chitt out of myself first when they are alive by walking over them or close and moving. Heart check deal. Last time I was around one the snake came up on the porch I was sitting on, the farm cat had to save me by jumping. The time before that a bird dog did the jumping deal. Both times I had no weapon on me. I have learned. I think. I'm a real poor weatherman too, just ask Dennis from AZ.
