What pisses me off is when I do presentations at nature centers and goons in the audience bring me the dead snakes they killed on their property the week before and ask me to identify them!
: I give lectures to the general public about snakes.
: Sometimes someone comes to the lecture just because they want to know the best way to kill a snake.One man was telling me how he killed a large fat black snake in his yard by chopping it to pieces with a hoe.I was so angry I told him that he should never do that because each piece would grow into a full snake and each snake would be seeking revenge.So much for dispelling myths about snakes.
