Thank you Reid. I can tell a poisonous snake from a non-poisonous snake, by the shape of the head, and that is what answers my "let it live or kill it" question. I take a moment and ask an apparently stupid question, and catch grief for it. Hey, I learned something. Better than not asking to begin with. I am not afraid of learning. Gotta start somewhere.

Don't mess with Shadow

WarBeast, thanks for answering my question. I find it funny that your cat is named Shadow. One of my cats, also named Shadow, was the one who killed a fox. We named her Shadow, because she would follow me around the yard like my shadow, but to everything else, she was "the shadow of death!" She went missing 13 months ago. Probably picked on a coyote or a bobcat.

She looked similar, too:

We got Shadow from a friend who's "spayed" cat presented them with 8 kittens. She had never been outside in her life till one morning when I came in the living room in my robe and sat down and she attacked my jibblets. She became an outdoor cat. She loves it out there. Kills everythign that moves and sleeps in my shop.

Baby snakes ARE actually more dangerous. It's not a lack of venom control as everyone says, but actually a difference in proteins which makes it x? Times more potent

I laughed like hell!!! Warbeast in his hat, shades and a bathrobe having his "gibblets" attacked by psycho kitty!!!
bet he moved pretty quick!!!!
 
I've been bitten and scratched by cats more than a few times and actually got Cat Scratch Fever once ( no joke ) from a pet cat that decided to climb my leg one day!! The infection caused my lypth nodes in my neck and underarms to swell alot and become very tender and sore for days. I remember i had to walk around w my elbows out to take the pressure and pain off my aching armpits. I can't imagine a cat " grabbing " my "giblets" and remember a story about a guy who hopped out of the shower to turn off a kitchen sink faucet that broke and his "giblets " were attacked by their cat while he was on his hands and knees trying to shut off the valve under the sink!!
I imagine his wife was laughing hysterically.

I would have been very loudly, offensively verbal ?:lol: ............. I think I could forgive the cat for that for alerting me too a nasty snake in the dark. My dogs do it to and after 3 or 5 times in 2 summers w harmless snakes i got complacent, I walked outback one night because the wife said the dog looked like it was messing w one again. I was happy at the time :beer: :beer: and walked out barefooted, in shorts to check it out with only a stick. I was shining a flashlight , poking around some Azaleas expectin a Hognosed or BlackRat when I finally saw the camoflaged Copperhead about that size coiled up 18" infront of my toes :eek: I jumped about 4' up and backwards while my wife screamed and then laughed after I was'nt bitten!! it took a minute to get a shovel and bucket and I contemplated relocating it, but it was about to crawl under a very low wood porch and probly get away so he got multiplied into 2 snakes.
