Default Running over snakes

Last week i ran over a large Chickensnake laying in the grassy driveway. Inspired by my earlier snake killing expertise on a bike, i was riding with my ol lady a short distance behind me on her bike when i saw a large Copperhead coiled up in the road. Started to run over it and kill one more snake but i thought about it flying up and wrapping around the ol ladys leg or something. Would that be grounds for divorce or just a good *** whooping by a girl?

If it was alive enough to bite her, well, you wouldn't have to worry about her.

I've heard...I don't know if it's true...that your not supposed to run over rattlesnakes because of the fangs and poison could puncture your skin and it'd be like a snake bite. I don't see how it's possible but I heard that somewhere. Or I dreamt it.

I leave snakes alone. Not because I'm afraid of em, but for the exact opposite reason. I currently have a 5ft log black snake and gartner living in my yard. I refuse to let anyone touch em.... they keep the insect count down

Just running over them doesn't usually kill them. Ya got to slam on the brakes while you are on top of it.

I would like to run over the director of "Snakes on a Plane" for making such a crap movie.

A chicken snake is one that's afraid to cross the road.
