Ya know I have dealt with more then my share of venomous snake, even got bit by a copperhead and did not have the heart to kill him (I stepped on him, how can I blame him). I will handle just about any snake but spiders well you guys can have them all.

I think they are cool to look at and all but have NO desire to touch one! I try to remember my feelings about spiders when I deal with people that have similar feelings about snakes so as to be more understanding.
