ILLEGAL TO KILL SNAKES?????????????????????????????????????

I've never heard of such a thing.

I have intentionally killed several poisonous snakes in my life. If they are posionous and on my place, they are a threat, and if can, I'll kill 'em graveyard dead every chance I get.

I have unintentionally killed quite a few snakes with a hay baler over the years, usually non poisonous chicken snakes.

Cottonmouths have a better warning system than a rattlesnake. They STINK! Once you know what they smell like, you can smell one that is fifty feet away.
