I avoid killing spiders unless they are a Brown Recluse. I won't even kill a Black Widow because I know there is something dark and mysterious about them I haven't figured out yet.
As for snakes go I ALWAYS want to find a snake. Even if it is venomous. I'm not scared of venomous snakes anymore than any other snake. One fun fact about me is that I've NEVER had a fear of snakes. In north America the most venomous snake is a rattle snake so only they would concern me. After having that Copperhead experience last year I'm not scared to get bit at all by them or Cotton Mouths.
Oh wow sir Rainbow Man, that is nuts. lol..to me..about snakes. They creep me out. They always surprise me is one problem. Yeah I guess papa-pepper was okay after getting bit by that Cotton Mouth.
