(Pics hidden in spoilers)

I was headed back to my room when I saw a baby snake slithering into my bedroom doorway. I didn't recognize the type and I was very concerned it was venomous.

Regardless, I don't want a snake living in my house.

Knowing I had to act fast before he finds a place to hide under the furniture, I grabbed a piece of wood and approached him. He started slithering sideways. I thought - WTF, a sidewinder?

So he made it to where I rest my feet under my desk, but then I chopped him in half with the heavy piece of wood.

I had never killed a snake before and I wasn't aware that he would stay alive for a long time. 30 minutes later, his tail was still moving and he was still trying to bite. I don't see any fangs though.

Maybe someone can help me identify it.


warning images - snake, chopped in half.

I don't find it particularly gruesome, however viewer discretion is advised.






still able to bite^
 
Awesome. sidewinder.

But there is no venom in that little guy. You can tell by the head.
 
Holy crap, that's nuts. From my leet Animal Planet skills I'd say a Sidewinder. You really pwned that thing.
 
Snakes are seriously the best pets you can ever have besides a dog, a gecko, or a polar bear. They're cute and they love to cuddle with you.
 
I would've done the same thing...





after running away screaming like a little girl.


Oh and : "I HATE SNAKES!!"
 
I'm not happy about it. I was a little upset, even. I don't even like to kill bugs.

Except flying pest insects like flies and gnats. THEY CAN ALL **** OFF OR DIE.


I told him I'm sorry and I teared up a little. He was squirming and no doubt in a great deal of pain.
 
I wonder how long it can survive split like that.

Edit: God ****ing dammit Virus, I'm in here eating Krystals and now all I can think about is me eating that snake. **** off and die.
 
You bastard.

Reptiles have distributed nervous systems, btw, meaning they dont' die all at once. Or that's bullshit.
 
you could of domesticated it....he would of been your friend but you killed him.

:(
 
venomous snakes quite often have a triangle shaped head.Dont ask me how do i know that
 
About 20 years ago, when I was about 14, I caught dozens of snakes and kept them for pets. I lived near a wildlife park on a lake.

An adult Copperhead was the last snake I caught. That ****er was strong and mad. And they are poisonous too.

He was fully adult and as you know, snakes can be quite strong.. their entire body is muscle. I used a Y shaped stick to pin his head down and then grab him around the neck. But he wasn't helpless, he was using his entire body to try to get free. He seemed to be fighting for his life, where other snakes were just trying to get away. He struggled more than any other snake I had caught, even 5 and 6 foot black snakes.

I retired after that and didn't catch another snake. I don't even like them anymore.
 
Snakes make lame pets. They just sit there all the time. Once a month they eat.

I like my Iguana. Had mine for about 1.5 years and it's gone from a little over a foot to nearly 4 feet, and they get 6 feet.

I'm going to take him for walks in the summer. I've completely tamed him.

and he is extremely intelligent.


Believe this shit - he understands and responds to about 1 dozen common English phrases. (like 'you want some food?')I say a couple of them to him nearly every day.

He is like a mini-Velociraptor or some other Dinosaur. <3
 
Dude, if that ****ing thing was in my house I would have ran out of there screaming like a little girl.
 
Well, if you read the post about my background, you know I respect them but ...

I'm not scared of shit unless there is a giant grizzly bear in my room, or I get under the covers to find a rattlesnake.
 
im fine with snakes, i have a small problem with spiders though.

if i found a tarantula in my room id probably just empty my bowels and die
 
So I had taken the Copperhead home and we had him in the backyard, crammed into an aquarium with a cover.

Well, my friend's dad found out and came over, killed it without my knowledge, and then chewed us out.

It was like my prize trophy. It was the most beautiful pattern I had ever seen on a snake. It shimmered like new copper.


And I never even get to check it out! I had brought it home, put it in the tank and then we got something to eat or whatever and were hanging out and that was that. Never saw it again. Man I was mad.

WTF?

"Yeah so I'm going to go kill your pet now without your knowledge, it's for your own good, you understand."

What a wanker. D<
 
Good thing, I hear snakes can swim up your piss stream and into your penis.
 
You've now become like your friend's dad, Virus. You dirty snake killer. It was just a baby. A baby. It didn't know any better. I hope you feel like shit, you murderer. I hope you cry about it and lose sleep, and when you finally drift off from exhaustion you'll see that poor, defenseless newborn's face in your dream, weeping snake tears, asking you why you stopped its life so short.






But seriously you managed a wickedly clean break using just "a heavy piece of wood." Having looked at the pictures before reading the post I assumed you used a ninja sword or perhaps a knife sold to you by Billy Mays. Color me impressed.
 
Posts that made me laugh out loud in this thread.

Looks like a northern pine snake, which is non-venomous, as others have guessed.

No way was I going to take a chance. There are dozens of places in my room that would make it extremely difficult, if not impossible to capture him without tearing the house down.

I made the decision based on that, and because of the pattern on the snake in which I found very similar to a very deadly Timber Rattlesnake - native of Virginia

Baby Timber Rattlesnakes:


In addition, the snake was slithering sideways, which I assumed confirmed that it was indeed a sidewinder rattlesnake.

It's weird because I had a dream about snakes the night before this happened. I had a dream that I built a house in the forest, and was worried about snakes coming into it.

Some voodoo shit.

lol. It's not impressive. I have a hard floor, not carpet or anything. I thought there was a good chance it was poisonous, if I missed he might bite my foot or leg or get away. I wasn't playing around. I used deadly force.
 
DEADLY FORCE.

Good on you mate, you sure showed nature who's boss.
 
Poor snake. :(

You should've sent him to me. I drink venom for breakfast.

That snake's not venomous, though I like snakes either way.
 
Saturos could have stuck fake wings and legs to it and had his very own dragon. You're so inconsiderate Virus.
