Poor snake - Anyone near Charlottesville want a new pet?

[Salamander Rising]

I'll really never understand people's fear of snakes...... Some of my fellow fire fighters, mostly the big ol' "I'm not sacred of anything" guys won't even look at the pictures of my snakes without going bat:cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:. " Dude get that away from me!!!!" its a picture dumbass!!!

My mom is that way with rats and mice...real ones, pictures, even cute little toy stuffed ones.

I'm not real crazy about spiders and always go out of my way to never harm them but if I see somebody smooching their tarantula, I don't start screaming and hemorrhaging from the eyes, for cryin' out loud.

My dad has a fear of snakes that borders on insanity.

He 'addresses' that fear by killing every one he finds.

[I'm pretty sure mom isn't joking when she says she thinks gypsies took her real baby from the maternity ward and left me, instead...I'm sure not 'one of them']
