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.

I actually like your grandpa more for using a weird slow tool than a tool that would make more sense

A buddy of mine when we were kids would catch snakes around the neighborhood then blow them up with firecrackers and m80s and poo poo, in hindsight he probably should have been able to identify the species first but back then it felt like he was making the whole neighborhood more safe

Why you just hit it with a shovel OP? Seems like a good w98 style shovel attack would take care of that gauche bush and also the snake

I think you should solicit the aid of the cottonmouth's sworn enemy, the alligator, OP. Get a few gators in there and your snake problem will take care of itself.

Most cities have laws against discharging a firearm, don't know where you live but that birdshot is probably off the table.

As someone that has broken these laws before, they cant charge you unless they know you did it. Work quickly in the early hours of the morning, put your gun away, and go to bed.

Starting cleanup. I'm wearing flip flops which I think is a brilliant idea. Since it shows snake I have no fear. No sign of snake so I think it's working.

I see a round head shovel in that picture. That round head shovel is loving Hanzo steel, Excalibur on stilts in the reptile kingdom. This disgusting fat slovenly goon managed to kill a rattlesnake drat near as long as him with a round head shovel. You can kill a tiny little cottonmouth with one.

I forgot you're a dog. She was being a sneaky sneak and went outside to grab her tennis ball and photo bomb. I put her back in .

Zero snake sightings so far. But i didn't get balls deep in the jasmine. just cleared it and mowed the front yard. I'll be cleaning gutters and traipsing through the brush tomorrow. We may see some sport!

What you want to do is swing by a pet store and get one of those little mice you'd feed to a pet snake, get your rod and reel and bait it with the mouse. Grab a lawn chair and some beer, set up about 20ft away from your bush and cast that little fucker over there. Should make for a relaxing afternoon at least.

Welp, here I am in the ER. Just kidding, did the gutters today and no sign of snake. Had a nearby shovel just in case. I've also armed my dog with a shovel, but frankly she needs some practice.

What I'm really hoping is one of the huge barred owls that live around here just ate the snake.

Not sure. It came with the house. It viney and shrubby and makes tiny white flowers that smell good.
