I've killed more snakes than you lately.

[GODDESS6]

snakes seriously freak me out~ even the garter(*sp) ones that are totally harmless, one slithered over my foot in the yard & i fainted, scared this **** out of me~ i have snake nighmares too~

but i love to watch the animal planet show where this guy goes out trying to find anaconda's, my god are those things huge, their heads are bigger than mine~ now that's a snake & it's on tv, that is about as close as i can get to a snake~

Most of my life I had snake nightmares too! Luckily I haven't had any this century!
That's so creepy that one slithered across your foot though.

Those poor snakes!

Anyway - My hand to God, we had a boa constrictor in our backyard once - HUGE one. Right on the border between the yard and where the woods starts. Obviously it was somebody's pet that had gotten out. My parents called Animal Control and everybody called everybody and pointed fingers at each other and fought over whose job it was to come get the thing, and eventually somebody showed up and took it away. Interesting experience for them, at any rate.

I would have called Remington.

On a side note, my brother got bit and scratched by a squirrel today.
He had been a pet of my brother's, but we let him go in our yard. Well
I guess he's got a little wild since he's been out. I guess he's been talking
to those country squirrels, and their country ways are rubbing off on him.
The day before, I had handed him a Nutter Butter sandwich cookie. He loves
those. Anyway, if he bites me he will suffer the same fate as the snakes.

It's kind of late to be killing snakes...BUT!

My nephew and I were about to go outside a few days ago,
and I looked down on our front porch and guess what was
crawling across the bricks? Some big ole snake. And once
again.....................DEATH BY HOE.

You woulda thought that word had got around by now and all snakes in your area are staying away from your porch

March 12, 2010 while mowing grass (yes, MARCH) I saw a "cut up" moccasin.
Though fresh-cut, it wasn't from me...hmmm.....

I am the same way! I find the shows fascinating, but I am deathly afraid of snakes. Last year at the zoo I very briefly and quickly touched a harmless snake (corn snake, I think) that a keeper held. That was huge for me. I only did it as I was with a 3 yr old who thinks snakes are 'so cute'. I've tried not to pass my fear to the children, but it's not easy...

lol...I'd have to move if there were that many snakes in my yard...I have a snake phobia. Even seeing them on tv makes my heart race and I get nauseated.
