Any one here into snakes

Interesting looking snake. As you are fascinated with them, I'm sure you know how to take care of snakes. I am fascinated by dogs. I was terrified of the garter snakes and tarantulas I bought for my kids when they were young. Once, I thought the tarantula had given birth. Turned out it molted. So the spider who could replicate itself by itself turned out to be a nonstarter. Meanwhile, I was like oh no, how many times has she made offspring and where did they go.

My brother's roommate, Snake, was a good friend of his. They are still friends to this day. So I went to see my bro's new house, and the living room was filled with cages of large snakes. That guy loved snakes, hence, his friend's nickname. Bro and I sat in the kitchen, where there was a door to the outside, so I could escape if a snake tried to eat me.

I am a fan of wild snakes who eat pests like field mice. Beneficial snakes. I don't usually freak out about the wild ones. I left that for my yard man, who looked like Mr. Clean (tall, muscular, bald) but went kind of nuts when he saw a snake. I kept my cool, but he figured I was not long for this world. :cool: It was a 4.5' nonvenomous snake. It wasn't moving around,and for me to get where I was going in the yard, I had to step over it a couple of times. It was like a living stick, just minding its own business.

This was in Mass, where there are only 3 kinds of venomous snakes, and the herpetologist at the science museum earnestly reassured me that I would be very fortunate to see one in the wild. Georgia is different. My view is I'm very fortunate if I don't see one in the wild. Too many venomous ones.

I'm sure that I'm a complete amateur regarding snakes compared to yourself, I think I just like it because it spends most of it's time burrowed in the sand, he's like one of those big worm things in Dune,
