Boy, you are squeamish. Those are harmless Diamond Back water snakes and the're not aggressive. I'd never skill kill any living thing unless it was absolutely necessary.
I wouldn't necessarily consider myself squeamish, but perhaps decisive instead. I know what I like and what I don't like. I don't like snakes. I'm not afraid of them, but they are just absolutely disgusting to me. I would much rather kill one (other than a black snake, probably - they don't bug me at all for some reason) than look at one. Sorry, I'm just not that tolerant of some things and snakes are one. Sure, sure, they all have their place, living things deserve their dignity, blah, blah, blah. In my world, though, a snake's place is somewhere not around me!
