Probably not, but I think you should have done it anyway. Worth a or two for the poor sap who has to listen to the messages.

Downunda, there are so many snakes that are bloody deadly it is just safer to presume any given snake is a killer. As for the glock solution, you'd have to be a very good shot. I know a lass whose father used a 12-gauge shotgun on a king brown that was in the flower garden. It works.

I applaud you for wearing gloves. Most people who get bitten, get bitten because they were attacking or otherwise trying to deal with a snake while not adequately equipped.

Sleep well, Wolf, but remember... snakes are attracted to warmth.
