I have a corn snake. Her name is Okra. I am sure that she will be pleased to meet you!

Caution can never be a bad thing to exert when dealing with more dangerous snakes, but Okra is harmless with exception to the times she tries to hide in your shirt. It is warm there, man.
Same here.Quote:

That's exactly how I feel. :pQuote:

I thought she meant the snake was in the doorway of our front door, so I go to look for it. I thought it was odd that Sarah would be so spooked since she's never had a problem with snakes either. So I'm standing there looking out our storm door and I say "there's nothing here sarah. Are you trying to trick me?" She sees where I am, and starts screaming at me to look to my right. A racer had come into the house, climbed the door jamb and had settled itself at the middle hinge. And it was PISSED. I got out of the way before it could bite me. Eventually, since I couldn't figure out how to approach it without getting bit, we had to go get my dad. He walks in the house, and says "Where is it?" The snake strikes at him as soon as the words are out of his mouth. My dad turns, and catches the snake in midair, then drives down the road and let's it out into the marshland.
Snakes are neat, though. Most of the time wild ones will even realize you don't mean them harm if you're very still, and will hang out around you. But I've also lived in very rural areas all my life, so I was taught early how to deal with both venomous and non-venomous snakes.
The difference is you run from the venomous ones. xD
EDIT: Here's a picture of the snake I'm talking about!
EDIT 2: Or maybe not. Well, here's a link anyways.

Ive never seen one with living in England.
I did have a half worm/half snake as a pet when I was little, but we sorta lost it. It rocked, though!
Im not really afraid of them, its not like they can move all THAT fast, you could easy get away from them.
Probably the whole serpent = Satan ideology does not help, especially in Western society.Quote:

In recent years, I find snakes/serpents more and more interesting. I am thinking that some day in the future to look into getting one as a pet.
Die Okra die die die. :moomba:Quote:

I'm not really afraid of snakes, I'd just rather avoid them than come face-to-face with one.
Depending on what kind of snake it is, the only thing I can think is how huge those fangs are.
Ack!
Pah!
Snakes control the vermin population. Yay snakes.
Because copperheads like to lurk outside fourth of july parties and bite unsuspecting toddler children who are running around with sparklers.
