Logan you are probably much braver than I would have been. I wouldn't know a poisonous snake from a non-poisonous snake so I would have been screaming too. I remember once my miniature poodle caught a chipmunk and came onto the deck with its tail hanging out of her mouth. I was trying to pry it out of her mouth and sort of half gagging at the same time. After realizing that her jaws were stronger than I imagined, I got a doggie biscuit and showed it to her. Problem solved....she immediately dropped the chipmunk to get the treat!
