Unfortunately, some people don't care how harmless or docile a snake is. This woman I work with is so afraid of snakes she is irrational. She has her son kill any she finds in her yard while mowing the grass. And here's the funniest and most irrational part. If she's driving her car on the road and spots a snake also on the road, she stops and waits for it to move along. Why you say? Wouldn't she just run over it to kill it? No, not a chance. She's afraid if she runs over it, the tire will throw the snake up under the car and it will crawl inside. Yes, I'm serious. At least she doesn't kill the ones on the road. I've tried to talk some sense into her but it ain't happening.

That looks like a prairie kingsnake to me. Totally harmless and usually very docile even when being handled.

Here's my snake-on-a-cache picture from last year. You'll all notice that it's a bit blurry ....

Naw, the gent just is afraid of snakes and I figured we have some snake people here that would offer better dvice than mine which would be something like smash him with a rock or something.
My experience is about like Dan's I think I have really only seen 2 or 3 snakes ever while caching. I am glad that everyone had the restraint NOT to recommend shooting them with the (you know what) . We don't want to start THAT all over again.
