Did you all know its actually illegal to kill a snake? The majority of snakes are protected. Its much more advisable to phone the RSPCA, or wildlife organisations to relocate snakes rather than kill them.

If I found a baby python, I would leave them alone, I love snakes but I would think it was a native and not try to catch it. I probably would encourage it to live in my yard by keeping the dogs away as I would worry about them harming it. But that is me, I love snakes... I love keeping them in the gardens.
