I saved a random snake a few days ago


Written by: OG Jappleng

A few days ago I saved a snake after it had gotten caught in a garden net.  It was stuck there for over a day and I thought it had died but upon poking it with my foot, it still moved. So.... Being that it wasn't a poisonous snake and in fact it is known to eat poisonous snakes (cannibalism?) I decided to rescue it, sort of.

The snake was annoyingly tangled in a brand new net, so there were only two ways to get it out. I could either decapitate it into small pieces and pull it through the holes or I could rescue it. There was also the option of leaving it for nature to take care of it of course. I chose to rescue it because well, I felt bad for it. First of all, it got caught in my netting, meaning it was just lurking around looking for mice and then got caught in the net.  Plus, it would be a pretty terrible death to die of starvation, I'm sure snakes take many days to die from that.

I don't particularly care to touch snakes or get near them, I let them be and that's about as far as I go with snakes. They are emotionless and cannot learn them since they lack the mental capacity. Perhaps that's why religion such as Christianity often associates snakes with demons? Well, snakes can tolerate people and other things given that they are no threat and are used to it but the concept of love / like is impossible. So loving a snake is only a one-way relationship :P

With that said, I was a bit nervous considering I've never been bitten by a snake before, nor have I ever held one bare-handed. The snake had the netting all around its face  and mouth so it couldn't bite me even if it tried so I felt pretty relieved for that reason alone. It took about a good 30-40 minutes before i got the netting cut from its body, I was being slow and extra careful because the string was so tight on its body and it suffered several wounds from it.

The hard part was now happening, I was face to face with the snake. My hands were no more than an inch away from its mouth and I was freeing its face as much as I could. Eventually it got so scary that I had to use a stick to hold its little head down while cutting the string but sadly I couldn't remove it all before it "ran" away.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend saving a snake unless you knew it wasn't poisonous. Snakes get a bat rep because of the few that are but most are not. This snake must have been about 4-5ft long maybe? But it definitively thought that I was going to eat it for dinner the way it looked at me in the end. It was standing tall being still and telling me to get away, which I did.

Hopefully the little snake found a way to remove the last bit of string from its mouth, and I wish I could say it was a perfect recovery but life isn't a Disney movie. I hope that one day, it will eat all the mice it can eat near my house. lol smile
