TEN FOOT of rattlesnake!!!! I like snakes--but I'll be very cautious about where I walk for a while. <br />Oh....and we had a pet one for some time--a green grass snake. Thammy the Thnake. LOL I miss having him around. He was so fun to watch as he climbed around branches we put in his terrarium.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408403855260279799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-16909083029580717052014-07-08T00:39:24.026+01:002014-07-08T00:39:24.026+01:00I'm not a fan of snakes, but that must have be...I'm not a fan of snakes, but that must have been quite an experience for you!Montanagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428565909247665015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-7680385713403650982014-07-07T23:53:22.325+01:002014-07-07T23:53:22.325+01:00We have many kinds here in Minnesota.

Wasn't I lucky to actually have one in the garden, even if it was such a short time. I love the patterns on their skin, so artistic - if you know what I mean.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099030819314552958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-51867402324922240542014-07-07T15:16:58.077+01:002014-07-07T15:16:58.077+01:00"I was one of the lucky ones who got to handl..."I was one of the lucky ones who got to handle the rather large reptile. Of course, I forget what sort of snake it was but I have never forgotten how it felt. Not a bit slimy, as expected, but smooth as velvet and really quite nice to the touch."<br /><br />Oh, how awesome, Valerie! I would love to try handling a snake because they don't frighten me and have always been intrigue by Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-86481965886931751592014-07-07T13:06:02.104+01:002014-07-07T13:06:02.104+01:00ha. i see a handful of snakes a year...they bug my...ha. i see a handful of snakes a year...they bug my boys out...but i try to move them along and let them live...they clean up some of the pests you know...smilesBrian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.com
