Snakes are very cool. I grew up in MD and we had all sorts of local snakes in the local woods which we lived up against. My dad let me "keep" a few as pets when I was growing up. Black snakes, indigo snakes, king snakes, ring neck snakes, etc. Bitten a few times of course. Never a big deal then. He would stop by NIH (National Institute of Health) and get mice to feed them. Fl has its share here as well as their cousins the alligators.
