To kill a snake you have to chop off the head

That's not quite true. There are other ways. You can slice it in half lengthways. You can throw it on the fire. You can just keep hitting it really hard. I'm sure there's lots of ways.

Run it over....your turn pup.

Eject it into space void without an appropriate spacesuit for snakes.

This is far more interesting than discussing the banal tosh that was served up last night!

Whilst living in Canberra, I had a call at work from my wife asking if I could come home and check on the welfare of a snake she had encountered in the garden. It was a Tiger snake which had got tangled in some plastic netting over the veggie patch and it had been striking out at a new Jack Russell pup we had just purchased. She had apparently hit it with a spade and she wasn't sure if it was dead.

On seeing it, I realised she had hit it more than once because it resembled a sliced salami. I confirmed that the snake was dead. So you can add 'hitting with a spade' to your list.

We had Tigers and Browns in the garden and I can confirm other methods of them meeting an end included being run over by a Mitsubishi Pajero, a necessary execution by garden hoe at a children's party and various encounters with Jack Russells. We did however lose 3 dogs to snake bites but I think over 90 minutes the dogs had the better stats.
