I must say that personally I have this experience, and I have killed a lot of snakes, but only those who crawling to me on the site. And if I meet a snake in the woods, then in any case, I will not touch it, and just go around this place.

In order not to suffer with snakes in the area should be carried out maintenance work. Namely remove various types of garbage from the area, do not leave all sorts of boards, logs on the ground, grass being cleared in time (and in and around the site too) and so on.

By the way, very often a snake crawling in the compost pit as it is warm and there is always the food, so is the perfect place to lay their eggs.
