McDuck 0 #26 October 29, 2003 Ah, now see? I LOVE snakes. I have to be 100% sure it's poisonous, or I'm on it like a punk rocker on a laquer can.

freeflir29 0 #27 October 29, 2003 QuoteI LOVE snakes. I wouldn't say I love them......but like spiders they are predators and have a place in the world. I respect predators. We have a lot in common. As long as they aren't poisonous and DON'T sneek up....we will both leave in the same condition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fudd 0 #28 October 29, 2003 Quoteblahhhh... that was probably taken with a huge zoom type lens.. I said it was the smallest thing. About 20mm with legs i think. I DID NOT KILL IT OF COURSE! I never killl spiders, because they are one of the coolest living creatures of this world Lucky us don't have any poisionous/dangerous spiders either. Unless you are a fly of course.... I let it out the window, after studying it and taking some pictures of it. There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

McDuck 0 #29 October 29, 2003 I can't tell you how many times, growing up next to a national park, that I reached for a snake in/on/around the rocks in that park, only to jerk my hand back and dive backwards (Matrix style) down the hills away from a young rattler. heh. I used "jerk" and "hand" in the same sentence.

"Witness a man, about to offer humble obeisance for a perceived affront. Witness same man collapsing in relief to find that it was all in jest." Laquer is that clear paint product taht people use to coat table tops and such. Makes them shiny and hard. The punk rockers at my high school used to use laquer to make their spiked hair stay up longer. Some of them had hair like weapons because of it.Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

freeflir29 0 #33 October 29, 2003 I did my share as a kid. I remember catching a rat snake once. Had it in an aquarium. It was spring and soon had little rat snakes. My brother and I would get them out and play with them in the house. Well.....one day we woke up and Momma and all the little ones were gone. My bedroom was on the second floor of the house.....not sure how they made their way out but we never saw them again. My Mom wasn't too happy. Of course...that has nothing on the time my brother strolled in the house. He was walking through the kitchen and just caught some movement out of his peripheral vision. Only to get the shock of finding out that movement was a 5-6 ft King Snake striking at him. From the the kitchen counter. My Mom was cooking sweet potatos and apparently this snake had gotten to close to the stove. No idea how he got in there in the first place. So....now we have a fairly large snake, mad as hell, and occupying the kitchen counter. Not sure how many times it bit my Dad before he got it in the pillow case. We took it outside and let it go since they eat everything from rats to poisonous snakes. If you haven't guessed already......I grew up on a farm......in a very old house.

moodyskydiver 0 #34 October 29, 2003 I don't mind spiders.I'm not particularly fond of the ones that jump and chase you, but I'm ok w/them. Snakes, on the other hand, scare the shit out of me.I will totally invent a new dance to get away from those slithery fuckers. "...just an earthbound misfit, I."

McDuck 0 #35 October 29, 2003 QuoteI will totally invent a new dance to get away from those slithery fuckers. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at THAT one! I even pictured the dance. I don't mind spiders either. I have some beautiful pictures I've taken of garden spiders. I'll have to post them one day. I just don't like them when I wake up and there's one crawling ANYWHERE on my body. I read a statistic that states every person, in the course of their life, will eat 8 whole spiders in their sleep. G'night everyone.

McDuck 0 #37 October 29, 2003 Dude! Someone brought a Brazilian Rainbow out to the DZ one weekend, and he was not only the most beautiful snake I've ever seen, but he was a total sweetheart. He crawled into my lap and sat there basking in the sun. The owners even said he was totally enjoying himself, because he started doing the snake-snore.

dunesurfer 0 #38 October 29, 2003 My male brazilian is prety calm and doesn't mind handling, but the female is a crank, she will still nip me occasionally. If all goes well, they will produce a clutch of babies next summer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
