    I love the picture... just wanted to see if someone sees what's not quite right about it.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    another reason why people fear snakes because they keep getting misrepresented, kinda like the morons in florida calling a ball python a burmese

    lol, it took me a bit, I just saw the picture of a milksnake and sat there wondering what was wrong with it, whether it was photomanipulated or something...then I noticed they were tagging it as a venomous snake!

    I have no idea! But then again, I am a rather ignorant, average citizen who thinks every snake I see is venomous.

    Easiest way to tell (and I'm shocked the idiots who posted that pic do not know this childrens rhyme) is.. Red touches yellow, kill a fellow. Red touches black, friend of jack

    I learned that as: Red touch black, venom lack; red touch yellow, kill a fellow.

    People amaze me at how dumb they can be about snakes.

    It took me less than 30 seconds in a Google search to find the correct species of snake.

    Just how difficult is that? They couldn't find a photo of a Fer de Lance?
