You know there aren't any snake in TN large enough to eat you. All in all, snake, including the venomous varieties, to more good than harm. They help control vermin and other pests. I don't go around picking them up but with the exception of a cottonmouth napping under the boat I want to use, I try to do them no harm. If I were float tubing over in MS, I would want to carry a stainless steel .22 revolver with CCI shotshells in it. Cottonmouths can be aggressive, unlike most other snakes who usually only attack when cornered.
