Question for Florida PetTalkers

I never want to hurt any living creature but when I see a poisonous one I do "remove" it with my shovel. My children and my pups saftey comes first. The harmless ones I just try to get them to move on with a broom or something if they have managed to find themselves inside the fenced area for the dogs.

Same here. If we have a non-venomous snake near the house where the dogs could get it we move it to a more safe place. However if the snake is venomous we will kill it. We don't like doing it, but our family (humans and pets) come first.

On a side note venomous and poisonous are two different things. Snakes are venomous, not poisonous. I'm not directing this at anyone, it's a common misconception. I just wanted to make that correction.
