My injured snake..

[ConcinusMan]

I'm at a loss for words but I bet that scenario plays itself out many times daily, all over around the world .

I was just talking to a contractor doing some work at my house. He saw me in the yard with one of my snakes. He started telling me about how he was driving through the Columbia River Gorge near White Salmon, WA when he saw a rattlesnake on the road that was so big, it stretched 3/4 of the way across the road. Then he proceeded to tell me how he missed it with the car, went out of his way to turn around just to come back and finish the job.

[ConcinusMan]

Yeah, pretty much.

No kidding! When I was buying supplies for my snake enclosures at a local hardware store, one of the workers was bragging about how he killed a rat snake with his truck. You should have seen how proud he was of himself, yet every instinct in my body was saying, "Come back and brag to me after you've caught one live and released it in the wild. Then you'll have something to be proud of."

"Come back and brag to me after you've caught one live and released it in the wild. Then you'll have something to be proud of."

Exactly!

I am wanting to keep her but I just felt if she could survive, she should be back out there. You guys are the experts and don't think she would survive so I am going to keep her for the rest of her life. I am more than happy to do that.

And I'm more than happy to hear it Great job!

[RedSidedSPR]

Good choice!

Glad your snake is doing so well!
