    Default Any Snake Lovers...

    I found this lovely corn snake in my well house this afternoon. It was kind enough to pose for some pictures.

    Pretty little snake. We found one in the rafters of our "party shack" years ago. We left him there for rodent control. Love seeing them.

    Wow Pat, I can't believe you handled it well. If it been my wife, she would have killed me if she found a snake anywhere near the house. She is freaking out over a few little lizards that have made a home in our backyard. I keep telling her that they are helping her keep her plants free of pests.

    Jorge, I have handled snake since I was a kid. My neighbor's daughter has a ball python which my neighbor said bites everyone. I asked the daughter if I could hold him and she is sure. They were a bit surprised when the snake did not bite me. I said it is all in the approach I regularly catch lizards too.

    Had my parents not been against keeping snakes, I would have been a volunteer snake catcher at our local snake conservatory back in India . I still remember sneaking out to go play with snakes....
