"They are very good for rat control. When I lived in Plano i used to go to the parks and catch them, then would release them at the house just for this reason, solved my mouse problem real quick."
I bet your neighbors LOVED you!!! LOL I am not a snake hater, my son has had quite a few as pets but I still hate to be shocked by them in the yard. Granted, I do know it was their home first, and the copperhead my son caught under a bowl in the backyard last year was relocated. For that matter, even the snake we found in our HOUSE in Rowlett was relocated instead of killed (but I was voting for killing that one)! I just wish they would not be so darn sneaky.
