haha my best friend who looks kind of like a tough guy, one those tight pants'ed, long hair, guns n' roses type of guy, and back when we were in high school everyone just thought he was one of those pissed off, tough guys. anyways, back a few years back, my friend had baby corn snakes and i was holding one, and he would NOT hold it and i asked him why not, and he responded with "dude. they can sense fear, i don't like that." so i finally get him to hold it.. and it makes the slightest movement, he drops the snake on the bed, kind of squeals and runs to the opposite side of the room and i couldn't stop laughing
