You know, I have seen a lot of Scottish snake keepers on here if I think about it! Huh, wonder what makes you all so awesome. My fiancé is of Scottish heritage,so I have quite a soft spot for you all and your beautiful country.

Do you guys have very many native snakes? I know the European viper is the only venomous snake in the UK, and I know there are some water snakes and such. I just ask because I know my snake fascination was sparked when I caught gopher snakes, king snakes, garter snakes, all kinds of snakes in my back yard as a kid. And I'm in California, so the whole snake is literally crawling with rattlesnakes, so I was taught to be wary as a child. Terrified my mother because I think she was afraid I would just grab any snake I saw without making sure it wasn't a rattler. I was a tad smarter than that though. What sparked your interest in snakes? Same thing, or do you have a smaller variety of native species? Just curious!
