Snakes will be placed at random in easily accessible areas of your home, such as in the middle of a room, on a couch, or under the kitchen table. You will not know where they are placed.

For the next 14 days, you must spend at least 22 hours a day inside your house.

For the rest of the year after that, you must spend at least 12 hours per day inside your house. You can take up to 10 days away for vacations and the like after the 60th day.

You can use anything you already have at your house, in your car, or on your person to trap, kill, lure, feed, or stay away from the snakes. You cannot buy or use any weapons, traps, snake repellant, mice, etc. that you don't already have.

After a year, the snakes don't automatically disappear, but the restrictions end. You can move, you can buy traps, hire a trapper, etc.

Do you accept? How many snakes are you getting? What's your strategy?

Highly confident in my ability to kill most or all of them on day 1

Can snake fangs penetrate leather boots?

Some snake fangs can penetrate leather boots, but it depends on the size and breed of the snake and the thickness of the leather.

And I hope you don't lay down with exposed skin somewhere.

And even if you spot it first, some of these snakes can strike 4 or 5 feet away.

Edit: on reflection, I’m thinking about smallish snakes I’ve killed. No way would I try to be chopping the head off some 9 foot long monster rattler with a hoe

Just remembered that I have a full case of #8 shot at home and I literally never hunt birds. No idea why I even have it, until now.

I douse the place with propane from my grill out back and light it with me inside

LJL at succeeding with more than a couple snakes. One of them would catch you unawares from a dark nook.

Also, luring them to a certain place seem possible. Crank the AC. Drain the toilets. Put a space heater, bowl of water, and food in one place. Watch there.

Drunkard: "No lieutenant, your snakes are all ready dead"

obviously the snake(s) aren't wandering around hunting you and are probably hiding in a corner someplace

I would wear puffy jacket and ski pants and put my logger boots on. Then I would put on duck coveralls. That’s enough padding I think I would be able to have a chance to not get bit with a strike. I would wear my welding gauntlets. I also have a full face landscaping helmet which would protect my face.

What are you doing while you wait for them to go to the heating pads?

What are you going to do when it's after midnight and dark and cold and you're tired and there are still a few snakes around?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5719308&forum_id=2)#48898675)

Applies only if these are actual physical reptiles slithering around my physical domicile and not a metaphor

After the first year, go ahead.

You could leave the door open and hope the snakes leave, but then you'd probably have deadly snakes in your yard until mid winter or beyond.

Even during the summer, if you turn the air conditioner on full blast nonstop, you can probably get the house cold enough that they won't bother you. In my case, I have a couple old window AC units. If I turned the central AC on full blast and put the window AC units on the windows in the smallest bedroom, it will probably be cold enough that the snakes won't come in there.

I would dress in protective gear and do a full clear on the upper floor of my house, which wouldn't be very hard. The upper floor is where I would live for the duration of this, and use it as a base while each room of the lower floor is cleared and sealed off one by one.

I have a telescoping pool pole that can go up to 16 feet, with a hook on the end to scoop the robot out of the pool. For the smaller/faster snakes, I would just use it to pin them from a distance, then use my hand to pick them up (gripping them behind the head):

I would put them in pillowcases and tie them shut for their safety. For the larger/slower snakes, I would make gigantic snake bags by folding sheets together and stitching them, then put the bags inside a huge garbage can. I would use the hook on the pool pole to scoop the large snakes into the can, then tie the giant snake bags shut.

Once I had all of the snakes safely tied up in their breathable bags, I would take them all to GujarTTT's house and let them go. If things got hairy, I have a electric pole saw that extends up to 20 feet, but I would try to preserve them all to leave the maximum number for GujarTTT.
