Found a snake, what is it?

[theOEGBman]

Dawn, if a creature wasnt confined at one point in history, we'd never have the pets we have now. As for snakes, none of the amazing morphs we have now would have come to be without wildcaught snakes being selectively bred. That's my part in that, everyone was having a great time with Madison's post and I dont want to see it ruined. And from what I read on another forum, I believe she released it.

Musk is a scent gland...several species of snakes use it to make predators leave them alone...it is oily and smelly...kinda like poo but you can tell the difference!

Yeah I let the little guy go today, I've read to many things about ringnecks being really hard to feed in captivity. Now if I had found a garter snake or something, I would have totally kept it.

I'm certain I'm going to snake-hell-o because if I see one, I'm gonna run it over or chop its head off. Oh who am I kidding.. I'd be too

to get that close to a snake to chop it's head off.

Sorry.. all the snake lovers are probably gonna

me.

PC, if you want one!

I just dont see the point in posting on a cool thread like this when you've got nothing positive to say.

But whatever, Madison has the cutest snake in the world as it is! Cornelius is awesome.

PC and all: I'm a snake lover but I can relate to being scared of them too. I was really scared by a snake when I was a kid, but my mom made sure to explain that the snake was scared too and that they're an important part of a healthy ecosystem. If I run into a wild snake unexpectedly it still gets my heart pumping.

I remember running into my first wild rattlesnake. I was with a group of people, mostly early twenties city slickers like myself, plus a housemate of mine who has a real phobia of snakes and no interest whatever in learning to like them. He sat down on a rock with a couple other folks, and we saw the rattler slither under the rock about three feet from him. It scared the crap out of me to think about someone getting bit. My heart was pounding, and I yelled "Hey guys—move slowly, but get away from that rock!" My housemate—the one with the snake phobia—stayed perfectly calm, much calmer than I felt. Anyway, to make a long story short, people with snake phobias are fine, too. And my housemate's probably right... there's an evolutionary advantage to being afraid of snakes, as long as it doesn't make you do anything stupid!
