Call your State Game Commission or Wildlife management. Ask them to remove them or you will take care of them. I would have to see a snake before calling them. And even at that it takes a half hour to get back here from the main road and the wildlife management is more than an hour away on top of that. Where that snake would be by then is anyones guess. Flat head shovel or 12 gauge with birdshot which ever is closer will be used.

Why not go to the pet store and buy some mice and XXX the mice and let the snakes eat some jacked up mice?
People buy or breed mice for there pet snakes all the time. Just do it in a different way.
STOP POTATO HATE!

Dogs are not tied up or fenced around here, don't want to poison mine or the neighbors dogs. My 2 neighbors are great people and we get along great, don't want any bad blood so I won't put out poison or poisoned mice. Besides, snakes don't eat dead meat.

YOU live in there woods, wait till the copperheads lives matters gets wind of this.   This is my home they are the ones that have to leave. If they don't they will be dispatched for eternity.

Can you get a backhoe and dig the nesting hole out?
Not without destroying a bunch of other stuff. It's up against a concrete wall and the side of a mountain with an out cropping of rock. I'm going to fill it in and cover it over with some clean fill dirt. Throw some grass seed on it.

How about pouring a gallon of household ammonia and then a gallon of household bleach into their den  Don't breathe those fumes as those two mixed together make Chlorine gas, which can kill you and or damage your lungs  I learn that lesson on those household chemicals the hard way a long time ago by trying to clean some auto parts with them mixed

When we had gophers and other ground rodents in the 1960'-1970's, dad would wait til he seen a mound moving, run over to the garage, pull out a huge jug of acid (not sure what type) and poured it right on the mound. Lawn was dead in that spot for couple months, but usually only had one invader a year til they stopped altogether by 1974.
If you want to get rid of the snakes, try this this. Fill it with cement. It prevents them from coming back and digging it back out and will suffocate those that are in the hole. buckets of cement are easy to mix and carry over and don't leave poisons around for pets to get into. When done, cover the hole with dirt and forget about it. It's the best way. some snake holes can hold more than several dozen snakes and just gassing them may not do much.
