People of the older generation have such a legend that "house snakes cannot be beaten", but whether this is superstitious or not, I dare not draw a conclusion. But I did see a situation where a snake crawled into a neighbor's house, but was eventually beaten to death by others.

?I remember it was one summer when I came to Huimin Machinery Factory, a "third-tier" factory in our county. When I got off the bicycle, I heard someone shouting "There are snakes, there are snakes" in the staff dormitory of Huimin Factory. So, several young men armed with wooden sticks rushed out from the neighbor's house, chased after the snake that crawled out of the house of the person who shouted that there was a snake, and beat it with all hands and feet, and the snake was beaten to death.

?The snake that was beaten to death is called a "cauliflower snake". It is said that this kind of snake is non-venomous and does not cause much harm to people. However, because the snake was so big, people were reluctant to throw it away. So, they disemboweled the body, cleaned it, and cooked it in a pot.

When I was a child, I heard adults say that snake meat is delicious and the snake meat soup is particularly sweet. They said it was sweeter than pheasant soup. Moreover, drinking snake meat soup also has the effect of dispelling rheumatism.

But to this day, I have never eaten snake meat, and I don’t know what snake meat soup tastes like.

?So, killing domestic snakes does not mean that there will be any sensational superstitious consequences that will be bad for the family's fortune, or have any adverse consequences for people's daily lives. The rumors of those predecessors may be due to the ideological restrictions of feudal superstition, or some kind of lies spread by people. Of course, there may be a subconscious desire to protect wild animals, but it is just expressed in a shocking way that is not easy for people to accept.

In short, you can decide according to your own wishes whether to fight domestic snakes, but you still don’t have to believe in the superstitious results.

Of course, now that the country is promoting the protection of wild animals, we should all actively cooperate and support the relevant national policies to protect wild animals and the natural environment, so that humans can live in a more benign environment.
