Yeah, I love reptiles. They are freakin' awesome! Except snakes, I don't mind the ones that have been hand-raised and are calm. But I'm not fond of them, especially when snowboss and I had to remove one from a garage at work the other day. I pretty much let him do all the work with that one!

When I get my own house I'm gonna have a shitload of reptiles though like water dragons, monitors, geckos, you name it.

haha I used to catch snakes at my grandma's house during the summer. Actually, just found a footlong gardner snake out by our birdbath about 1/2 hour ago, cute lil bugger

Snakes rock. I use to be afraid to handle them before i got bit. once that happened i realized there was nothing to be afraid of, it doesnt even hurt that much its just surprising more than anything.

The first time i was bitten by a snake was (of course) catching them at my grandmas house. I caught a little baby gardner snake (maybe 2 inches max). iIwas cupping it in my palm when it bit me right in the middle. It didn't even hurt, kinda felt like velvet.
