I kill everyone I see. I am amazed my dog hasn't been killed. He has probably been bitten and now just waves it off. I don't know.

Water snakes are mean bastids and bite we’ve had a few rain dances in droughts with dead ones 🤣🤣🤣 We have a banded water snake that is said to be nonvenomous but he is seriously vicious and will bite. He is not a pit viper but bad reactions and swelling have been reported by some of the unlucky bitten folks. Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Non venomous get a pass and a quick blessing. Nothing but rattlers around here - prairie and Western diamondbacks. Mostly prairie. Not usual, but not real uncommon for a prairie to get aggressive, I've only had a few encounters with d-backs. I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon. ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

Don’t think I have to worry, only had garter snakes where I grew up, and now here in Kelowna BC have not seen any snakes at all around here. Maybe around BC30cal’s place maybe, but around here we should be good. "The 375HH is the greatest level of power you can get for the investment in recoil."
