CORRECT!
He's an exterminator and he kills mice.
EDIT: 3rd Page!
EDIT 2:
Guy goes into a home with a large snake. After going into a small room, he battles with the snake for quite a while. Afterwards, he emerges with the snake into a room with the man. The man gives him some money and he leaves.
Who is this guy and what is happening?

If the question was who the snake was, I'd say Satan.

All I can think about this, is that the man who gives the guy money, wants to keep the snake as a pet, and the guy is a snake-charmer, who tamed the snake.

Nope.
Hint: The Man who payed this guy had hired him.

Well, that hint doesn't really add anything: It seemed already obvious to me.
Edit: OK, the man didn't want the snake in his home at all. So the guy takes the snake with him to a zoo or so?
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 10:12 pm
by LittleZbot
Nope. No zoo.
Hint 2: He was fine with the snake, although he expected the guy to bring his helper.

Was the guy extracting snake poison for medical purposes? And did the snake terrarium holder (I don't know how is he called in English) hire him for that purpose?

by LittleZbot
Nope.
Hint 3: He had a gross job.

I give up.
Edit: BTW, about the chicken and egg:
Or if you're a creationist the answer is the chicken.
I believ in creation, and i believe that the chicken was created with at least one egg inside it. However, I believe that the dinosaur was created earlier.

Hmmm... You might be right with that egg inside chicken thing. And, if creation is true, then you are wrong with the Dinosaurs created before chickens, since Birds were made on Day 5 and Dinos on Day 6. Let's abandon this discussion as it may lead to an argument and therefore breaking the Forum rules.
As for the riddle...
The Guy with the snake is a Plumber. The Snake is a Plumber Snake. The small room is the bathroom. The guy paid him for unclogging the toilet with his Plumber Snake.
HINT EXPLANATIONS:
Hint 1: The Payer hired the Plumber to unclog the toilet.
Hint 2: The Payer expected him to bring a PLUMBER'S HELPER(aka Plunger).
Hint3: HE WAS A PLUMBER. OF COURSE HE HAD A GROSS JOB.

NEW PUZZLE:
Every year, the most dangerous animal in the USA kills hundreds of people a year. However, not many are afraid of these animals, and often pet and even feed them. These animals have no claws or fangs, but still kill humans in various gruesome ways.
What is this animal and how does it kill people?

@Snake puzzle: How were they supposed to know that? You were way too vague. You could have at least said the snake was in the bathroom.

I agree, about what people believe, we should not make a fight.
About the riddle: I've also been a plumber, but I didn't know that in English, a syphon is also called a snake.
About the next puzzle: is it a real animal, or some thing that is used in a bathroom?
EDIT: I must say, in Dutch a syphon is also called a swan-neck (gooseneck)

They keep fugu fish as pets. They're poisonous if you try to eat them as delicacy. However, I don't know about the statistics, so I may be totally wrong.
(and yes, people do keep fugu fish as pets)

Nope. And Marinus, It IS a real animal.

Cement trucks. You feed them gas, but in the end, they run you over.

Humans. Hundreds of people are murdered every year, most humans aren't afraid of each other, some weirdos pet other humans, many people don't refuse to give each other food, humans don't have claws or fangs (just nails and teeth), and murders are both varied and gruesome.
MY ANSWER FITS EVERYTHING, SO I WIN.

Not quite. Humans aren't animals.
And no, it's not a human. Good guess, though.

Scientifically, yes, they are. We fall under the Animalia Kingdom, which means that we are animals.

OK, but what's now the answer to the puzzle? Apparently an animal but not a human. Also a mammal or some other sort?

Someone said cement trucks -- best metaphorical answer. (you feed them gas but they can run you over.)
Humans is a stretch, but such an answer does work.
I still hold to my "fugu fish" answer. I know it's not it, but it works, so I don't care.
Also:
SOME ANIMALS ARE MAMMALS
WE ARE MAMMALS
Fallse syllogism -- nothing says that all mammals have to be animals. Of course we KNOW they are, but it's a fact not stated in the syllogism. The structure reveals itself in its absurdity in this example:
SOME PENGUINS ARE BLACK AND WHITE
OLD TV SHOWS ARE BLACK AND WHITE
