Yep! I wouldn't mess with them, especially when there so many. Personally I hate all snakes equally, not afraid of them.. just I get the sudden urge to kill them. Last one met his maker with a cinder block (only thing handy at the time).Just turn around and leave them alone. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning than being snakebit{ Unless you go and start screwing with them}
They do more good than harm by a factor of a million.
