I live in the middle of nowhere and will walk away from snakes that are not around my house, livestock or dogs.

Those that are are killed on sight.

Our 6 year old Border Collie has been bitten on the nose three times by timber rattlers that came into the fenced front yard. Each time his face swells up to twice normal size and he mopes around for a couple of days and then is fine. FYI dogs are almost always bitten on the nose due to the way that they go about the snake however bites on dogs noses are almost never fatal. Cats on the the other hand are almost always bitten on the paws and often die quickly from a bite.

Those seen out in the woods are left alone.

Cheers,

Byron
