My grandparents killed snakes on sight, but that's an old country attitude, born of no quick access to doctors and widespread rattlesnakes. Today snakes are fewer and appreciated. At least by me. Snakes eat insects and mice, if one wants to get all utilitarian about it; more significantly they are beautiful and quiet - something we can all aspire to.
