I have a 3200 gallon pond with a 50 foot long creek we made going from a 300 gal pond down to the 3200 gallon pond...anyways we have LOTS of goldfish, big and small plants, etc..well my my mom found a 6 ft. water snake (water moccison??) in the creek eating one of the fish..it went into the big pond, anyways we want to kill them, we noticed 5 more snake heads, babies pop up......anyways I told her to order snake traps on amazon..some are big sticky pads you put around the pond, some are boxes, but we wanna kill'em all...any other suggestions? we can't use a shotgun to shoot in the pond we'll break the liner, hurt fish......we wait by the pond for them to come out, so we can shoot'em...but they are smart...anyways they will all be dead soon enough muahauahuahauahuah :)
 
Why kill them rather than relocate them? Also the glue traps are pretty cruel
 
LOL what? we kill them all around here, i live on a 300 acre farm...theres thousands..kill'em throw'em in the ditch..go on, no need to cry about it..i guess city folk like'em...but if you saw as many as i do, you wouldnt care

Sounds like a friendly, german man the world once loved...
 
LOL i will not relocate them, i hate snakes, and its eating my fish..they will all be killed...

They play a vital role in the ecosystem. They are opportunists so theyll go for te easiest meal, the one requires the least energy...your ponds. Please do the right thing and relocate, they wouldn't be there if you hadn't filled the pond with easy food. Following that logic they are there because you pretty much rolled out the red carpet.
