rw-Lily will be getting her own pet

It's so good to know that I'm not the only one who puts their feet up just READING about the darned things!!

The first year DH and I were married, we lived in a house that the backyard backed up on the canal (Savannah, GA).  The realtor of course told me it was a "ditch" and only filled up during really wet weather.  Yeah right.  With canals come moccasins, and one of the little buggers decided to make his/her way INSIDE my house.  The family room was 1/2 a step below the rest of the house....had been the garage originally.  DH found it in there one night and quickly removed it with my BBQ tongs!  Eeeeech!  I didn't know a thing about it for several years.  Pretty sure he knew that I'd be packed and OUT of there....and the city, in nothing flat!

LMAO!!!  Snakes don't bother me one bit.  Now spiders...  I freak!  Dh has 2 snakes and one of them is 15 feet long and weighs about 120 pounds.  I had to let the snakes stay because Dh let me keep my cats.  Don't worry anyone, they are locked in there tanks, in a locked bedroom!!  Dh built the tanks to run around the perimeter of the room and the "glass doors" are actually plexy glass so it cannot break if the snakes decide to strike!  

Congrats to Lily!

I know that I couldn't live with a snake, because they really scare me.  We close to the lake, so we get our fair share of snakes in the yard.  Nothing reduces me to a screaming, hyperventilating fool like a snake.

 Congrats long time ago my uncle had snakes, lol one year they had a surprise party for my mom and I had put one of the baby snakes down her shirt oh what good times that was lol.

 I used to have a nice little corn. It lived in my class on campus,and at my school while I student taught. They're a bit easier than balls in my opinion, though I have never owned a ball. I even was able to keep the corn with nothing, just the cage, during the first month of school when I student taught, because there was no air conditioning.

We had a beautifully bright corn come in for adoption recently.  A coworker is a big reptile fan, so I asked her if she was going to take it, since she has another snake at home (whom I actually loved).  She disdainfully replied "no thanks... those corn snakes poop in your hands."  MMmm, yummy.  That may be the only thing I learn about corn snakes, but it will stick with me.

 I've never been pooped on by a corn snake, but I'll allow it can happen.  (A western hog mose got me and reptile poo really does STINK.)

Anything with a mouth can bite you; anything with a bum can poo on you... It's a fact of life, irrespective of type or breed.
