Gopher snakes? They’re about as dangerous as chipmunks.
Just don’t do that with rattlesnakes.
Just because they don’t have fangs doesn’t mean they can’t bite. I’ve picked up enough snakes to know many can draw blood. Not much but enough to teach you to pick them up from just behind the head. And some spit krap in your face and eyes. And others secret smelly juice from their skin that make dogs drop them from their mouths.
Nope ropes. Good one.
About 20 years ago I was at 6 Flags in Atlanta with some church kids, after doing a weeklong service project. One pointed out a small snake in the walkway, not much larger than a pencil. I was going to pick it up and put it in the bushes, but one of the girls volunteered. I was confident it wasn’t a rattlesnake… until as she was reaching to grab it safely behind its head it suddenly coiled in response, not to her but to other people walking by. Too late to say anything. She grabbed it neatly, walked over to the bush and dropped it safely in.
I waited until afterward to inform her that she had picked up a rattlesnake!
She’ll be doing “snake handling” shows at a pop up preacher tent in her teens.

Danger noodles.
“I hate snakes.”
“Danger noodles” LMAO! I like that, too.
Grey Feather,
True. I knew someone who was bitten by a water snake in Northern Michigan (not to be confused with the UP). He said it was like a paper cut.
Now, some paper cuts can sting, but are not deadly! 😉
In nam venom spitting snakes were tied to low tree branches to mess with anyone walking in the area.
The whole high school was pissed off and blamed me for chasing the football quarterback with a harmless snake and him freaking out, tripping and breaking his wrist. It was 100% not my fault that he was a pussy.
My brother caught a bull snake once and brought it home and had it in his bedroom upstairs until the snake got away and he lost it in an upstairs cubby hole. We wondered whatever happened to that snake and found it one day out in the street in front of our house and run over by a car. He also had another snake all rolled up into a ball frozen in the kitchen freezer that he was going to eat later until my mom found it and made him throw it out. He was always bringing home some sort of critter. There is an old photo of my parents and my 3 brothers in front of our house in Ephrata, Wash. taken when I was about 9 or 10 years old in the early 60’s where he had a small turtle on his nose with him being a smartass. He also had a snapping turtle almost bite his finger off once and my dad had to kill the snapping turtle to get it to release its death grip on his finger. And somehow, we all survived into adulthood, mostly by the grace of God. And my mom and dad also made it thru raising us without killing any of the 4 of us for being boys.
I still like to catch snakes and alligator lizards in my garden. They are pretty tame and tolerant. Just garter snakes. But I do catch king snakes and gopher snakes when I am in their area; they aren’t here at the coast. I was out in the eastern foothills recently and encountered a rattlesnake for the third time. 😬 They blend in so well on the trails that I have to be careful; thinking about getting some snake gaiters.
Perfect example of why Jesus said that one must have the faith of a little child to enter the kingdom of heaven. She believed that those snakes couldn’t/wouldn’t hurt her and they didn’t. She just believed. It’s that simple.
The parents should be jailed for torturing those animals.
