And then the doofus probably chased it down and killed it. The stupidity displayed by so many people in this day and age, in a supposedly enlightened society, boggles the mind.

DeKay's Snakes were fairly common in Toronto when I lived there, and we would come across them on the paths in the natural park that ran most of the length of the Don River in the city. The number of passers-by...people who actually believed they were on that trail to appreciate nature in the city...and who nearly panicked whenever I bent down to pick up a tiny, pencil-sized snake and move it off the trail was beyond ridiculous.

I put the serpent down near my porch and it went in that direction,hopefully safely underneath.
My yard seems to be a sanctuary for them along with a few salamders.

Very nice! Looks like a Red-backed Salamander? They were very common on my property when I lived in Ontario; sadly don't extend as far northwest as I now live in Manitoba...one of the many species of reptiles, amphibians, insects, arachnids, etc. that I miss seeing up here.

Where on earth is Datnoid Island? Between the Red-backs and the DeKay's, I am starting to think that you are not in the Indomalayan region as I had assumed...:)

No indeed,it is actually more of a sandbar than an island and is located on a river in southeastern Pennsylvania lol!
 
I live in South Florida (WPB area) and we have snakes and iguanas here. I've seen a few burumese pythons and giant iguanas both of which are considered highly invasive. We are encouraged to kill if we see them entering our property or to call fish and wild life. I respect animal life too much to simply just kill because irresponsible owners released them. luckily the people I was with that saw the snake and iguana were not florida residents and didn't know they were invasive here and I never brought it to their attention so we let the snake slither away the thing was huge too and had a bulging stomach so it either ate something large or was a pregnant female.
People fear gators here.... but I was so terrified when I saw how huge that burumese python was almost **** my pants I was like i'll leave that sucker be
 
Check out my latest episode of Keeping It Real With Alex Cardinale! It was a cross over episode that crossed paths with On The Case With Detective Alex Cardinale! I broke down a tragedy and a crime at the same time! I discussed the Federal Express Flight 705 Hijacking that was done by Auburn Calloway! He stormed the cock pit and attacked the crew members with hammers and a spear guy! But the crew members fought back! Find out all about the attack, and the aftermath and my thoughts!
