I don't kill snakes anymore. They're more beneficial than dangerous. (venomous aside)
I just move them or ignore them. Let a garter snake loose in the timbers around my garden. Haven't seen evidence of a mouse in years. Learned that trick from my Grampa, he released snakes in his corn crib.

Some timber rattlers in my area, but the sound of a lawn mower or chainsaw and they move to a more quiet hill.

Don't worry about Noxen. Joe will have snake bite kits for all attendees. Bring your own snake boots though. smile
