    We kill all rattlesnakes on our property.. But leave the bull snakes alone... me personally I would not work a job that had that many snakes... snake wrangler is not my job title... tell the dispatcher to go out there and deal with them if they get that much of a hard on about it.

    I use a shot gun most of the time.
    This has been a crazy year for us. Usually by this time of the summer we would have had 6 to 12 diamondbacks around our house and shop. We have seen none. We do have millions of scorpions this year instead. We just cut hay two weeks ago for probably the last time this year due to 100 degree temps and you can see them crawling around all over the place up from the tractor cab.

    But sometimes the hatches have to be opened, and sometimes tank pressure exceeds the pressure rating of the hatches.

    Just watch your step and keep a few feet between you and the snake.
