Up here at Monkeyland…

…snakes are God’s Critters, and you have to be careful which ones you kill.

Rattlesnakes you kill. They have triangular heads, precise diamond markings on their back, and rattles on the tip of their tails.

I killed one yesterday. Didn’t have a gun with snake shot (a bullet with little bee bee shot), or even a knife. So I laid a board across it’s neck and beat the head off with a stick.

If I didn’t, it would kill my dog, or cause the cows to run and break legs, or whatever.

Sorry, tree huggers, I love nature, but I live in a place where nature doesn’t always love me.

A bull snake you don’t kill. They look a bit like a rattler, which causes mistakes, but they don’t have rattles. I killed one the first time I saw it, out of panic, then found out I had made a grievous error. Grievous because bullsnakes will kill rattlers. Yikes! He was my friend!

Garter snakes are totally harmless. Long and skinny, with yellow lines running the length of their bodies.

And so on.

And, I saw a six foot rattler, with 9 beads on its tail, crawling into a hole in the dam. It was going after ground squirrels.

So, do I kill it? The ground squirrels are destroying the damn, which is vital for the cows during the summer. So a bad guy is doing me a favor. Do I kill it?

Unfortunately, yes. Measure the good v the bad, and make a decision. And that’s life up here at Monkeyland.
