Sheila, I'm with you.  I like snakes, even the venomous ones---including the
one that gave me a good chomp in the leg 25 years ago (still got the scar).
And I was *with* a herpetologist friend in the Everglades that (as I lay
writhing on the ground), ran over and said, "Oh, look, a pygmy rattler!
Aren't they beautiful?"   Moral of the story, watch where you're putting
your feet and don't expect sympathy from field biologists. <bg>  Anyway, I
figure the snakes do more good than harm, and they have as much right to a
trail as I do.  I just keep my eyes peeled, trot on by and leave 'em be.

JMO.

Susan G, DVM
