Snakes have a lot in common with vampires. They are pretty much the animal equivilent, and I think that is awesome. From what I understand of vampire lore, the history and Western ideas of vampirism isn't influenced by snakes in any way, however there are obvious striking similarities. Anyone else ever make a distinction between snakes and vampires? If so, cool. If not, cool.
