eehhh, they're not a threat to humans, and I'm not afraid of snakes, so I'm ok. Now, if I find one under my bed, I might have a different view, but it's always really cool here so I dunno if it would be able to survive in the wild here.
(global warming seems to make this area colder. We seriously had one of the coldest summers and we've had one of the coldest winters this year that I can remember)
