I like the way Sister Alvear showed a snake they "took up" and hung him on a fence after they gave him a beat down.
That's what we do with them, then the goats eat them, or the chickens.

Well, that's where there are differences of opinion among Christians.

Some Christians think we should handle snakes, handle fire, and drink poison to display our faith. Others think that there is only one example of taking up serpents in the Bible (Acts 28:1-6) and one example of ingesting poison (2 Kings 4:38-41) and therefore the Mark 16 passage refers to protection from or healing from those things.

I think that kind of thinking is foolish.
