Kingsnakes are harmless. If you dont know what species of snake it was then how do you know it was venomous? It probably wasnt.
nothing bothers me more than when someone needlessly freaks out or kills a noble kingsnake because they were simply too ignorant to know that it wasnt venomous.
in my neck of the woods, i like to see rat and king snakes. ive encountered multiple cotton mouths and copperheads, so i breathe alittle easier when i see those beautiful king snakes.
I never claimed it was venomous. I'm identifying it based on a list of snakes known to be in that area and its markings from what I recall seeing as I rode past at 17ish mph.
You called it a "danger noodle" and a "nope rope" and warned everybody about it. That pretty well implies you believed it to be venomous.
Lots of people are terrified of snakes (just snakes in general), taking that into account, warning people I knew that would be encountering it seemed like a wise decision.
Since I'm on the internet, I'll call it what I want. There's 0% chance that your are that snake and 100% chance you are that upset NPC icon next to your name.
