I've never posted here. I thought it would be an appropriate forum for this comment about this article. I saw Jim Wilson's article about snakes. Everything he said is true. Even though he's not a zoologist or herpetologist, he still knows what he is talking about. I love snakes too! Like he said though, you have to know what you're dealing with, so learn to identify them. As a former state park summer naturalist, I have heard too many horror stories about people chopping up snakes that they thought were copperheads, and turned out to be some of the most beneficial creatures they could have in their yard. It's hard for us humans to overcome our baser instincts, like snakes are bad.ππ
