You should build one! It's a wonderful experience. You get all kinds of wildlife to include tadpoles, toads, frogs, dragonflies, birds, and even little snakes.Originally Posted by ILoveMyKitty
that is awesome. and snakes eat frogs so the frog would have to be really fast and/or too big for the snake to eat...now/yet. if i had a pond my boyfriend would be seriously happy.

Lots of pythons here and the odd cobra. Don't shoo it away, the chinese say that a visiting snake brings "ONG" (good luck)
Hehe, she has several exterminators, I'd say, with pythons and cobras round about her way... I'm sure the rodent population is way down, lol.Originally Posted by neetanddave
So much for me visiting you anytime soon.... you better get that exterminator on the way....
I agree. Reading the posts that seem to glory in killing just to kill kind of makes my skin crawl. Makes me want to go work at some types of snake/reptile rescue. Snakes aren't cuddly but they are part of our ecosystem, our web of life, the food chain, however you want to believe. They have an inherent right to be here just as cats, dogs, spiders or dolphins do.Originally Posted by pee-cleaner
Those of you who feel so strongly that snakes should be killed on sight kind of shock me. It should not surprise you then when people do horrendous things to cats "just 'cuz they feel like it" as well. All living things have their place in our world, and there is so much sadness and cruelty already, why create more or revel in it? Coexisting really isn't that difficult.

Thanks to both of you for your posts. I had posted the same concern - I was shocked at the "good, let's kill a snake" attitude! I am glad that there are a few others who share my feelings! Thank you!Originally Posted by Bonnie1965

As for the ol Paradise snake, wasn't he having issues of possession by the the bad guy with the pointed tail and cloven hooves?
This is the "cat site" but many people here have myriad animal interests such as dogs, turtles, fish, rabbits and so forth. I am sure there are some who not only appreciate snakes as co-dwellers on this big blue marble but as pets and sincerely care for them.
I completely agree. Even though I totally despise and have a phobia of spiders, I know they serve a purpose, but I don't go out of my way to kill them unless they try to do something to me first. I'm too afraid to touch it in the first place.Originally Posted by lnbandcats
Wow! I am so surprised that so many of you not only dislike/fear snakes, but, (and this really bothers me) you say that you go out of your way to kill them.
Why would you do that? While I must say, snakes sort of freak me out, I would never deliberately kill one, unless it was attacking me! Snakes, just like most creatures have a reason to be here. Just imagine if we went around killing anything and everything that we didn't like! Oh, jeepers, I think that is what we did 100-150 years ago - and think about all the critters we killed until they became extinct!
I had to add my two cents. The whole killing a snake because you don't like them makes me think of the people that kill cats because they don't like them.Originally Posted by lnbandcats
