I wonder how the number of people injured after SEEING a snake would compare to the number of people actually BITTEN by snakes. I know I just about jumped out of my skin when I nearly stepped on that copperhead and he lurched. I almost fell in the creek!
But it's too close to the house for poisonous snakes - they must be 'discouraged.'
The link to the thread and pictures was great, Alligator, and I think you're right. That guy that said the "only good snake or cat was a dead one" nearly caused me to register just to make a comment.
