Snakes are cool. I love the snakes around here. Garter, brown, ring-necked (so little and cute), hog nose, and the mighty blue racer, along with a few others. You have water snakes down by the river. I don't like those; they are aggressive and bite. Nothing poisonous like rattlers, those are scarce here, near extinct.
The blue racers are aggressive and will bite, but I love teasing them until they give in and become tame enough to hold. There was one racer that I wouldn't catch. I was over by the junk pile where I had covered some things with a 10' x 10' tarp, and this racer came over the top and was as long or longer than the tarp. I was about to snatch it by the head when I thought, "No, this one is too big".
Many of the snakes here can be held, but most of them poop on you when they get scared and try to flee.

A trail goes two ways and looks different in each direction - There is no such thing as a timid woodland creature - Whatever does not kill you leaves you a survivor - Jesus is NOT a bad word - MSB
