you all are to funny. when i was growing up in florida my dad would find all sorts of snakes lizards and spiders that i was able to play with much to my moms horror. my mom use to be scared to death of snakes and spiders but now will hold the snakes but still keeps her distance from the spiders.
you should have seen the face of my grandma and mother when i brung in a big bucket full of snakes that i had collected in our back yard it was priceless.
