Om Have you ever been to an oil drilling site while they're drilling? They make a huge mess. That's why the oil companies pay landowners for damages.

Y'all have more than we do iirc. The vast majority of American snakes are non-toxic. There are 4. Rattlesnakes (including the pygmy and sidewinder), Coral snakes, Copperheads and Water Moccasins. 3 of those are pit vipers so are easy to recognize if you study just a bit. I leave the others alone as they are VERY beneficial for rodent control. I've loved snakes since I was a little kid. They make interesting pets.
