Non venomous? I pick them up and remove them. Even when I was a little girl.

I will say I'd rather clean the Guinea pen than wrestle a snake but it's just a part of living in the country.
 
Every kid needs a Dad like that!

I am a bit concerned that the child is too young to understand the dangers involved but overall I believe that every kid should learn how to handle themselves and the snakes that they may encounter along the way. 🧹🐍
 
I used a laundry hamper one time. I got home from work. Plunked everything on the counter, keys, purse and glasses. Walked into my bedroom to get out of my work clothes. Once I round the corner I see something. My brain is asking what is that on the baseboard? It's about 4 feet long and black. Oh crap. It's a snake.

Nothing for it but to grab it and move it outside where it belongs. For whatever reason I grabbed it further down his body, his tail wrapped around my arm and I almost lost it. Like in screaming and having my dogs come running to see what stupid thing I've done this time.

I dropped it. Then it headed for the floor vent and was actually able to start squeezing through. Nope, oh no, I don't need it getting into the HVAC ducts. Grabbed it again. Pulled up the snake and the vent. Dropped it into the laundry hamper. Hauled it outside and dumped it out to return to where it belonged.
 
When I was visiting a base in South Carolina, there was a large rat snake that made his way into one of the barracks. I used to catch snakes for fun when I lived on the farm in Southern Ohio. When I heard about this snake in the barracks, I went in and was able to contain it and then take the cane I was using and pinned it against the wall and then grabbed it right behind the head.

I carried it to the fence and threw it over. I didn’t want to kill it.
