I don't have any particular dislike for poisonous snakes and I positively love having some of the non-poisonous types around. Non-poisonous snakes are better neighbors than rats.
In the wilds, I generally give snakes of any sort a wide berth & don't mess with them unless they find themselves in/around my camp site. Non-poisonous ones get shooed off into the brush. Poisonous snakes get whacked by Mr Machete or Mr. E-Tool. I'd rather not whack them, but I don't wamt me/mine getting bit.
Poisonous snakes around the house are not tolerated. The crack-house metaphor is apt.
