Hi Everyone,
I am new to the forum and this might sound crazy, but i have absolutely no desire to touch a snake I don't know why, but i am extremely intrigued by them. I read about them ALL the time, i watch all the programmes on tv regarding snakes. I am absolutely fascinated by them, but at the same time paranoid that if i should ever see one in the wild, i would probably run a country mile in the opposite direction That is how scared i am of them!
My husband and i have always been curious when it comes to snakes. My Mom lives in Darling on the West Coast and when we there we are constantly looking around to see one when we drive up there. We are very cautious when we drive so as to not drive over one should one be basking on the tar. My kids one 5 yrs old and the smallie 1.5 years old have been watching snakes on tv since they popped out We visit reptile parks, but i am quite happy to be on the other side of the glass. I go into a cold sweat just looking at them and have to scurry through because it scares the cr@p out of me! So yip, i am crazy like that, i love them from a distance, but that's about it
I really do take my hat off to those who handle them. I think it takes a special person to do something like that. I am all for preserving our wildlife and i am a huge animal activist. I have joined this forum because of my curiosity regarding these reptiles and seeing that they live on my doorstep, i am hungry for more and more information about them. What i learn from you, i educate my children.
Sjoe, that was a long intro, so enough with me you guys go and do some herping and come back and write about it, so that i can enjoy reading about it!
Regards
Tania
