Well.. I have been asked that same question. Being a christian myself, it saddens me that some christians can't appreciate the beautiful animals that snakes are.

Anyway.. I have been asked 'does it still have the stinger in it's tail'
'is it a cobra'
'where is the rattle'
'why doesn't it eat you'
'do it's eggs come out of it's mouth'
'does it poop' / 'does it have a butt'
'will the tongue sting me'
'why isn't it slimy'
'if I cut it in half will it become two snakes'

etc etc..
