Loves snakes, very cool creatures. That said if I had venomous species near my home they are done for. Not worth the risk.

Copperheads are one of the few species of snakes I will kill, and it's because I've seen far too many people with nasty bites from them- some even eventually losing a hand, part of an arm, or part of a leg because the wound left from the snake bite caused such extensive damage. Nasty creatures.
