In my area we have a huge number of snakes, In the past year in Koës I've come face to face with more snakes than in my previous 35 years on earth combined.
I have killed a few Cape Cobras in my yard, I have driven over snakes numerous times and have seen them next to the road....just the other day I
rode over a big cobra and shat my pants. I actually thaught I killed it or atleast maimed it but when I turned back to have a look it had a dent halfway along its body but otherwise appeared to be just fine and vol kak. Last week my beloved Staffie got tagged by a Puffy in the veld infront of our house and it looks like she will pull through but hell those puffy's leave a nasty wound

. My point of view is that if it's in my yard I'll do my best to kill it,or get someone to do it.....but in the bush I leave them alone.
The last geelslang I terminated haunted me for 3-4 nights....jeezus those things scare the shit out of me!!!!
