I was walking around the corner of my patio and I almost stepped on the drat thing. Fortunately he wasn't aggressive as cottonmouth snakes are said to be. He just slithered off into my jasmine bush. Poor thing was probably displaced by hurricane Matthew. Problem is, I still have debris that I need to clean and there's a lot of branches in that jasmine and spanish moss too. So, here's the gamble: do you think that snake will move on by tomorrow so I can finish debris removal?

Well it's still dark, but I don't know if I could find it in the tangle of jasmine even in the day time.

Oh hey I never pay attention to the OP name but I remember you had a lowered bike and have a jeep. Those are quite masculine things, as are guns for that matter. Therefore just shoot the snake. If someone complains or sees you just go "gently caress off". They will pick up on your confidence and leave

Just use like birdshot its seriously mot even very loud or piercing and nobody is gonna know

I sold the bike a while ago because I'm old and it was death incarnate. Maybe for the snake I should probably just throw improvised explosives into the bush until it leaves.

Better go fetch its natural predator, the mongoose so you can make them fight for the jasmine bush whilst you record it. Odds are pretty good the hurricane tossed one nearby so start looking.

Just dip your hand in pigs blood and shove it into the bush OP. The snake will latch onto it faster than you can say jiminy, then you can safely dispose of it and get on with your day.

Do you have any common gardening implements like a shovel or a mattock? Use them on your HOA and then shoot the snake like god and mother nature intended

I think this is exactly what Steve Irwin would do, except he'd to time to extol the virtues of the cottonmouth while his hand swelled to football size. "Crikey, what a gorgeous bite she has!"

You smell like Lysol Wipes.
If it gets sunny where you are he's going to be off to find an open patch to catch some rays once it starts to warm up in the morning, rather than hide in the shade.

Wear some gloves and toss a fist full of hamsters in there first, just to be safe.

Out here, everything hurts


I've been bitten by a cottonmouth, I stepped on one as a youngster. Still have a decent sized scar from the tissue damage. Afterwards my grandpa hunted it down and crushed it with a sledgehammer.

That's my advice, except use a shotgun if you have it.

cottonmouth males are aggressive in the spring, and I've been chased around by one before. I knew the area really well and when I saw the slithering beelining at me I just bolted through the woods. Generally though a snake wants nothing to do with a human.
