to be honest i love all, ok, ALMOST all of god's creatures. the one's i cant stand are the spiders, scorpions (although the one's here spark my interest & curiosity while still freaking me out a little), bees, wasps...really any creepy, crawly, buzzy bug that can sting or bite is on my no-no list.
1 bug that NEVER survives once i've laid eyes on it are black widows. i do not care if god created them i kill every single one the second i see it.

to those that want to get upset by that, please keep in mind i have small kids who like to run around shoe-less, sorry i'm not chancing one of them getting bit, especially my 7 yr old FEARLESS special needs son who does not understand the meaning of "potentially dangerous".
to him that means "more fun to play with" and with that mindset he'll see a black widow no different then any other bug stupid enough to cross his field of vision.
and i DO worry that now that i have a pet snake he'll think he can touch ALL snakes, including the one's outside...god forbid he finds something venomous.
anyways, i have a snake now cuz my bf's dad owns our house and he said "no dogs or cats". i wanted a pet but was limited to birds, reptiles or fish. we have a tank that i was using for the rats but now the tank is vacant so we're gonna turn it into a fish aquarium soon, i still want a few birds (2 cockatiels & a white bellied caique specifically...and MAYBE a macaw in the future).
so anyways, i'm with the others on the fact that snakes are just really very interesting/fascinating creatures. i have a list of "future hopefuls" (bp's i want in the future).
and finally, i'm just one who does things differently then others for the sake of being different, i guess. i dont like having or doing things that are considered "common". because of that i dont make a good follower but i lack the self discipline to be a leader.
i'm just kind of a rogue of sorts.
i was the kid in the family that everyone looked at and went
"hmmm...there's something odd with that one."
i was pretty much the only girl that really refused to play with barbies and dolls and tea sets. you would always find me out rollin' in the dirt with the dogs or up a tree somewhere. lol, my parents would come out calling me and they'd be scanning the nearby trees cuz chances are that's where i was.
oh, why snakes?
lol, i get sidetracked...
no one else in my family has or would ever dream of having a pet snake so i guess that's me being different again.
