Fear of snakes helped people evolve!

I don't think so. The fear of snakes isn't instinctive.

yep...that's them..I've got nice pictures of mine but I can't find them.
I want to scan them and upload.

what kind of enclosure do you have them in?....I had mine in a glass tank
but it was left uncovered and they came and went as they pleased.

I hate seeing snakes couped up in a glass tank and never let out to
stretch their bodies...watching them shed their skin is neat.

do you do this as a hobby or have some kind of snake exhibit?

what's the most poisonous snake ever handled?

kudos to you for rehabbing rescue and injured snakes...do you go to
schools and educate the public/children...it's sad how these wonderful
creatures are so maligned, they're so critical to the ecology.

man...those are some bad-ass snakes...watched a program recently
about sea snakes and how venomous those things are and there is
yet no anti-venom....if you're looking for a new challenge that might
be up your alley... (your wife will shoot me for this).

found my pics...as soon as I can get them scanned will post.
I have one of my garter snake(Vippy) chillin' out in the potted plants
and the pair of corn snakes together.

ps: what's the worse bite you ever got and how were you affected?

about sea snakes and how venomous those things are and there is

Actually Dr. Brian Fry of the Australian venom Institute has been working with the sea snake for years,and is probably the worlds leading expert on them. If there is an antivenin constructed for the venom,it'll be from his efforts and knowledge.Not to mention he has a rather snappy haircut!!!

found my pics.....Can't wait to see 'em!!! btw did you know that garters have a neuroligical toxic saliva?!?!?




ps: what's the worse bite you ever got and how were you affected?......I've been bitten a number of times,mostly from copperheads,thankfully I didn't spend too much time around exotics and all of my bites have been from native animals. The worse bite I received from a rather pissy Agkistrodon piscivorous(Cottonmouth). The effects were extreme pain throughout my leg,even though I was bitten on the top of the foot,near my big toe,profuse swelling,nausea,vomiting,shortness of breath. The pain in my leg persisted for many months afterwards due to the necrotic properties in the venom. And that was only from ONE fang!!
