You mean I'm not the only one that plays with snakes? The ladies in my
church tell my that they are glad that I am here to do these things with
their sons. They tell me this especially when I show them photos their boy
with various reptilian creatures as they put their hand over their heart to
slow the palpitations, or tell them how they got to pet a baby alligator 3
years old), or there was the time that we made our own emergency exit and
tried out the "fireman's chair knot" (it works real well).
