Yesterday evening i spent time in the company of a beautiful lady, no not my partner and before you jump up and down shouting RAT! Ect.
This lady was 6ft long and legless,an Indian royal python to be precise i have had a life long fear....Well terror of snakes,but this beauty was so gentle trusting and willing to be handled that i felt safe.
Her name is Sundari {spelling?} which means beautiful girl in Hindi.

had it been a cobra things might have been different.

Hmmmmmmmmm MMMMmmmmmmmmmmm Sounds deliousously inviting... I haven't held a snake in ages... Last time I did Hmmm NOW, give me time to think. Ah Yes, I was working on a High School Creative Writing Class Project. I got to interview several persons in our Community and one was a Pet Shop Owner... Yes, he had a SnAkE and asked would I like to have the SnAke crawl up my one arm and go around my neck and crawl away on opposite arm... SURE! Why not??? (After all I had ALREADY donated a pint of Blood at the Red Cross Station as a part of the Writing Project expressing my thots through the ordeal! Anyhow, Hmmm NOW back to the SnAkE!?!?! Yikes! The SnAkE was s*l*o*w moving crawling... WHAT? relief! I had this woolen like wrap coat on... like what I was wearing matters... it is just in my mid-length coat I felt somehow Protected. The Pet Shop Owner Guy took a Photo of me holding his snake like a mink stow!!!! Ah, that was the Life! *smile - sweet/AND ScArrY!! memories...* this is Connie CG

I was bitten by a poisenous snake when I was 13, ended up in hospital, obviously, it was 1 of the most painfull things I've ever experienced, so you'll never see me nowhere near a snake!

King
what type was it a rattler by any chance, at least with a constrictor you can fool yourself that the tightening squeeze is a sign of affection.smile

I honestly can't remember what type of snake it was, but I remember that things got really bad, apart from the pain, it was very strange feeling, almost like being drunk, by the time the ambulants came I was drifting in and out of concesness they said that if I didn't get to hospital in next 5-10 minutes I could have died.

OUCH! The safest place for you is New Zealand neither the north or south islands have any snakes.
