I'm not familiar enough with snakes to know which are poisonous and which aren't, but yesterday we stepped outside to find a black snake on our front porch as long as the step itself! It was the biggest snake I've ever seen in the wild. We live in the woods so it should be expected, but I never saw one that big in the four years I've lived there, so I'm a little freaked out. Thankfully my boyfriend was in the Boy Scouts to know these things already, but...
Can you give advice to a total noob about what to do if you come across a snake? If it's outdoors and not bothering me then I'll just let it go, but what if it comes at me? Should I run, hit it with something, scream? That seems like it'd be my natural reaction, anyway! And what if one gets in the house? What should I do?
I've tried researching this stuff but it seems like there is SO much information to process. If anyone is familiar with what to do, please clue me in! :D Thanks so much!
