Dinner Time for Grampa(warning snake eating)

[Discus Fever]

Al, I have to be honest here snakes whether they are venomous or not I am completely a wimp. I have been terrified of snakes my whole life which makes no sense since I scuba dive and snorkel with sharks in the open oceans and they don't bother me at all.

Hey Al, the shipping box is used as a hide for the snakes?

You aren't alone Scott. I used to do workshops on reptiles and it amazed me that Kids would have far less fear, but their parents were terrified. Somewhere along the way from Preschoolers to adults people learn to fear snakes. I never got the memo.

Between preschool and adulthood is when most people watch Indiana Jones for the first time.

Very cool Al! Very attractive looking creatures. I used to catch wild snakes in Australia when I was a younger bloke in the cooler months when they moved more slowly and were easy to find sunning themselves. During the 7 years I was an active snake catcher I only got bite by a venomous (not deadly) snake 1 time. They’re amazing creatures, but alas, my darling wife is not a fan, so fish it is for me

Danny I give you alot of credit! Australia has some seriously venomous snakes! 66 venomous and 20 of the worlds most venomous! Ah I would love to see them. The only thing I would be more stoked about would be the carnivorous plants. Something like 250 species .. and an incredible 120 species of sundews . I was born on the wrong continent.

I found out a couple of years ago that we have 2 carnivorous plants here in Mississippi. They grow where it's shady and moist. I bet if I were still able to stomp around down there I could find one.

Liz you have quite a few species of carnivorous plants... 25 species covering the 4 main groups.
