Yikes! Sorry to hear about your leg, Jay.
I guess I am in the minority. I like snakes. I think they're cool. Gotta treat them with respect, but that bugger was just headed home - not his fault. If you had let him go, you likely never would have seen him again.
Still, I understand the need to kill it with kids and pets around.
I have to look around for a picture of me and Bertha - she's a 12-15 foot, 215 lb. Burmese Python. I have a great picture of me holding her over my shoulders and wrapped around my torso. (She had just eaten 2 chickens, or there's no way I would have let her get wrapped like that.) At the time, she was only 15 lbs less than me!
