Found a den, back in the day. Stuffed a garter snake (like the photo) in a brown paper bag. Gave it to a girl at school… You should’ve heard the scream!

At a safari lodge, a deadly green mamba slithered out of a bushy tree right next to me to sun itself on the retaining wall I was sitting on. I moved away very slowly…

Was climbing over a fence and was just launching to jump down when I saw a copper head snake's tail were I was planning to land. Just managed to hold on to the top wire.

Aussie copperheads can be fatal. I went the long way after that.

I used to own a bull snake had him from a hatchling. He lived sixteen years

[RedInnocent69]

Was it friendly, @Pterodon?

[Pterodon]

He had an attitude like all pituophis species but no he didn’t bite

[RedInnocent69]

So, better than a cat? 😂

[Pterodon]

Much better

Saw one at my old job and it was luckily taken by a guy who wasn't afraid to handle the snake and take it back to the pond near the job. It honestly freaked me out for days. Was scared to walk around the job outside.

[RedInnocent69]

I hope you repaid him for the favour, @Simslover92

[Simslover92]

It wasn't just me. It was a group of us.

[RedInnocent69]

That saw the snake, or thanked the guy?

[Simslover92]

Both

Now he’ll be sneaking around hiding snakes to rescue you from!

This is Florida we have snakes of all sizes so you get use to seeing them.

[RedInnocent69]

I’m sure you do, @katiesmuff! Crazy invasive boas and pythons

[Still-alive]

Just a common garter snake i saw in the gutter across the street

[RedInnocent69]

Did you try to rescue it, @Still-alive?

[Still-alive]

lol no i was nowhere near it

[RedInnocent69]

But they’re so small and cute!

On a ‘field trip’, we are walking this path and I see a snake nearby then apparently the other kids noticed because they screamed.

I once touched a cornsnake at school

[RedInnocent69]

I’m certain you’ve touched more than one snake, @emmil

[In_Trance]

Don't have one
