3 1/2 to 4 foot black snake decided to inspect my Wife's car a few days ago! Would you dispose, relocate, or just let him be? He, eventually, went back out into the yard!

Relocate. They are good to have around. Keeps the rodents down. They won’t harm anybody.

It's not the snake that kills you. It's the heart attack you have when it falls into your lap.

Here is a photo I took a couple years back.
I support "most" all critters.
Folks will chime in that black snakes are good as they eat bad snakes.
I don't like any snakes.
Some might bite my cats or me.
Some (like the black snake) raids my bird houses.
Snakes enter my yard at their own risk. The cats get most of them before I do.

A few years ago found one under the kitchen table. I figured he slithered in through the dog door. Worst part was imagining how long he had been inside and where he might have been. If Mrs. Dawg would have happened upon him, she might still be in therapy, dealing with the the anxiety.

Please don’t kill non poisonous snakes. They aren’t likely to harm anyone, just creep you out a little. Relocate if you can.

Most folks can't tell the difference until they get to the emergency room.
There is no shortage of snakes, they are not "endangered".
They are not my friend.
They are not welcome in my yard.

I still follow the advice I learned on the farm years ago that is "a good snake is a dead snake".

Yea one time my mom had to kill a snake because it was in our home and it was literally trapping me against a wall and hissing at me. It looked like it was about to attack. You can’t take chances like that with snakes. We didn’t know if it was poisonous and we didn’t have time to like google what snake it was. So we had to kill it.

I never kill a black snake...if I find one in or around my yard
I just lead them to the nearest pine tree which are plentiful
in the Columbia area.I can't say the same for the black snakes
with my two outdoor cats of which one is the color and has the name
TIGER!!!

Black and King are helpful. Used to run phone troubles and would have to crawl houses on occasion. A few owners would mention having placed one under their house. Much younger then and did not understand that.
Older and a homeowner I rather have that black snake helping with the rodents.
Cats are not an option for myself. Love dogs but cats not so much.

I have caught three or four in my house ……Wife only knows about two. I have killed them before, but now just leave them alone and encourage them to go back out into the woods. Anyone should be able to identify poisonous fron non poisonous snakes. The only poisonous snakes you are going to find north of the fall line (Columbia) are copperheads ( very easy to recognize), or rattlesnakes ( very rare but easy to recognize). You are not going to see coral snakes or cotton mouth moccasins.

Just throw a rock at it and make it move off your car
Then get in your car and drive over it
Why are people so scared of snakes?

Oh H3$& no. Kill that thing. All snakes are venomous to me. Also, please make sure there are no friends or family in your wife’s car. That’s heart attack/car wreck material right there.

A couple years ago I had 1 get stuck in the plastic netting around my blackberry bushes. He had all but given up and was about dead. I used a garden rake to break him free & he slithered away to the woods.
