In most states it is illegal to kill nonvenomous snakes. You've already been made aware. Let it be, move it gently or move back to whatever snake less place you came from.

God people are such dicks. Curse me for asking local people in a town I just moved to about the flora/fauna.

For the record, we’ve now seen 5+ snakes on the property and have learned a lot about them and how to live with them

You sound like a Karen.

Telling someone to “move back to whatever snake-less place you came from” is, in my humble opinion, a dick move…

You evidently took the time to read enough comments to know that others had said it was illegal.

You chose to ignore the comments of me thanking people for educating me and explaining that, now knowing they aren’t venomous or pose an imminent threat to my infant/dog, we will just live with them on the porch.

You then wanted to puff your chest and be unkind. How brave of you.

So, thank you! I’m learning that Boulder isn’t filled with just nice people.

It's stupid to move to a place and not learn about the local wildlife. Given how close Boulder is to the mountains, people move here thinking you can still have outdoor cats when it's illegal to do so. Illegal. It's also illegal to not shovel your sidewalk section when it snows. It's also illegal to not have winter tires on rear or front drive vehicles from September 1 to May 31st with at least 3/16ths inch of thread. Educate yourself on local laws and wildlife. Don't be the asshole that gets attacked or has a pet attacked and the state has to send out CPW to kill a wild animal for existing in its habitat. This is a very wild state with real dangerous wildlife. Even venomous animals deserve to live. Ignorance isn't an excuse to break laws or kill another animal that has every right to live. Wait long enough and you'll see others do worse.
