So my neighbors found 2 copperheads in their yard last weekend between our two houses. Our house was once owned by some old lady that had way too much time to tend to plants/shrubbery, etc.
It seems that snakes love that crap. So I decided to start clearing out the ground cover. Yesterday I chopped up a couple of plants. This morning, i went out to chop up another, and was bending down to grab some chopped branches, and bam - snake right next to my hand.
I grabbed my hedge clippers, and clipped him a few inches from the head. But I think I clipped too far below, cuz the tongue was still coming in and out, and his head was trying to crawl. So then I smashed his head in.
Sadly, I forgot to take pictures, so this thread is pretty pointless.

I knew someone who used to work in a ... animal-unfriendly lab ... it's hard to decapitate a snake s.t. it doesn't move for a bit afterward.

Takes alot to kill snakes and turtles. Snapping turtle can still bite your finger off 8 hrs after you cut the head off.

Snapping turtles are directly behind scorpions in the "Satan's Pets" catagory.

I saw a national geographic on scorpions. They froze one in a block of ice, melted the ice, and the thing got up and walked off. Took the same one and threw it on a griddle. It was black and smoking. Pulled it off and it popped its crisp outer shell off and walked off. Zapped it with enough rads of radiation to kill a man dead in less than a minute. The thing gave a little shudder and kept on going.
Most evil creation of God. Period.

I think I would rather deal with the evil turtle. My grandfather had a scorpion climb up his hand. Said it felt like someone cutting open his skin then using a sewing machine to sew it back up in the same instance.

Back in NC, about this time last year, GF and I were driving when we saw a turtle in the road.
She freaked out, and I decided to get out at the red light we were at, and move it, as it was steadily crawling towards busy traffic. I got her to get into the drivers seat, and went on over to figure out Mr. Turtle.
I start getting closer when I realize this isn't a normal looking "cute" turtle.
At about 2-3 feet the turtle spins around to face me and snaps at my fingers and toes like a possessed demon and my brain decides that the best course of action is actually to kick the turtle.... which I did.
Eventually I got some PVC pipe from the side of the road, and let the turtle bite it, and then used it to fling his ornery ass into the woods.
This leads up to yesterday, driving back from Target, when I saw this young black couple doing the exact same thing I was going to do. As I drove by, I noticed it was the same turtle, only about 2x as big and super mean looking. I had to turn at a light and missed the carnage that probably ensued.
