geez. i hate snakes. i hated the post on water snakes and had to quit reading it.
today about 2 hours AFTER my swim, my husband goes out side and comes in to tell me, Hey, theres a big snake in the pool.
i run out and look and sure enough, it was about 2 feet long and dark brown. SWIMMING in my pool.
i started screaming GET IT OUT! he goes to get the net and the snake comes to the end of the pool, sticks it's tongue out a few times ( i am standing on the other side, of course) and he slithers OUT of the pool and into the flowerbed near by. I am screaming to my husband to kill it. ( i am the one who will take an insect outside rather than kill it and do not eat beef because I can not stand the thought of killing a cow) but a snake, this was different. I kept saying, "our dogs come out here all the time, i walk out here, I swim out here, I will never get in that pool again or let the dogs in the backyard unless I know it is dead". so, he finds it and took care of it. then i felt bad about killing an animal. what would you have done? was I wrong in making him kill it? I am so freaked out by snakes. I knew i would not want to get in the pool or let the dogs out worrying about it lurking nearby.
