One note, though, if you have to kill one (or find a dead one) chop it's head off and bury it fangs down under a tree so they will not be stepped on accidentally. They are just as deadly dead as alive.

Don't do that. There are a good number of bites that happen when people go to mess with a dead snake. If you do end up with a dead snake, leave it where it is.
