I was taught by an old farmer, many years ago, how beneficial having these types of snakes around a feed barn really was. I've been fascinated by them ever since.Glad too see someone who recognizes how good snakes are to have around.
I understand but don't agree with the (A snake.......kill it!) mentality, but with a little education, we can all do better. Look a few posts upstream, pics of young uns holding a Garter snake, educated that it's not a threat, appreciating what it does and then releasing it. This is what we need more of.
I have picked up, held and released several non-venomous snakes, most very docile, some a little aggressive. The thing to remember, they just wanna be left alone and may even improve the quality of your environment.
