I used to be fearful of snakes, too, but I began to study them and learn more about them and I now I respect them and leave them alone. There are folks around here who will kill *any* snake they see -- they don't care whether they are killing a poisonous or non-poisonous creature. I don't understand that attitude *at all*. I have known people who were out four-wheeling and killed snakes they came across just to attempt to get rid of the poisonous ones! And they were out in the woods, where snakes belong! I just don't get it! I think this is a *sin.* - Kathy in KentuckyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10279728.post-15418151906966189532007-04-26T12:59:00.000-04:002007-04-26T12:59:00.000-04:00You must remember that I LIKE snakes...spiders, to...You must remember that I LIKE snakes...spiders, too. :)<BR/>You can see the eyes from a distance - really, you can. Just remember, the elliptical pupil thing does not apply everywhere - there are venomous snakes with round pupils -- just not where I live.<BR/> - swamp4meAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10279728.post-91486018886835415602007-04-25T17:29:00.000-04:002007-04-25T17:29:00.000-04:00I didn't know that about the snake's eyes - but, u...I didn't know that about the snake's eyes - but, umm, I don't think I'll be getting down there to look up close either so I'll take your word for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10279728.post-57930669729517811572007-04-23T18:46:00.000-04:002007-04-23T18:46:00.000-04:00OK.

He was copper in color but you know I stayed away from that bad boy. There was no way I was going to get close enough to see his eyes. I did shoot a photo of him and the preserve volunteers told me it was a corn snake. non-poisonousCindy Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436065058386153734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10279728.post-43843255813287972762007-04-23T08:17:00.000-04:002007-04-23T08:17:00.000-04:00Happy to oblige :) Give the little rat a kiss from...Happy to oblige :) Give the little rat a kiss from her auntie.swamp4mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500364141244115390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10279728.post-56988703597593687322007-04-22T22:29:00.000-04:002007-04-22T22:29:00.000-04:00The rat dog and I appreciate the new picturessince...The rat dog and I appreciate the new picturessince they aren't of the eight-legged variety.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Your SILAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
