Re: more snakes for the snakehandlers
I know some serpent handlers who would pay big bucks for that first one!

Re: more snakes for the snakehandlers
*scream*
I killed a 1-ft. long snake in our back yard the other day. I am SO proud of myself. I chopped his head off with the shovel, in spite of my utter terror and disgust. Normally I would just leave them be, but this one was right where Jeffrey normally plays!!!!! 
I don't know if I could keep it together if I encountered a snake THAT size, Sis. A!

Re: more snakes for the snakehandlers
My youngest daughter handled copperheads when she was 4 or 5 years old. That child would bring them to me and say kiss the snake mama, and hold it up to her face. I would have to calmly take the snake away from her to kill it, with the fear that if I SCREAMED as I really wanted to, I would scare her and maybe cause her to be bitten. She was able to hold a constrictor when she was a little older, and thankfully outgrew her fascination with poisonous reptiles.
One of my sons collected live frogs which he would hide in his dresser drawers, when I would take his folded laundry to put up, well I could SCREAM about that.
