Sorry the rest of you didn't care for the snakes. I personally think that they are amazing and intriguing creatures. And i don't mind rattlers if I'm aware of where they are.

Diggin' the photos!

I've had reptiles my entire life. Had a boa constrictor that lived 32 years which is unheard of.

This is the current bane of my existence. Mr Ted

If you have ever thought of getting an iguana for yourself or your children - DON'T do it.
To care for one properly, they are much higher maintenance than you might think and can live 20 years.
While Mr. Ted (a rescue) may have won the iguana lottery, he's one of the top 5 mistakes in my life.

Dogs are unlimited lines of joyful credit with a payment that comes due all at once.

It used to be unheard of, but now 30-50 years is common.

Either way, he sure surprised me!

Thanks, captain. I have thought of getting an iguana in the past. It seemed like maybe too much, when I researched it. Thanks for confirming it. handsome fella, though.

Like them all, but wouldn't like a hug from a boa.

Heard long ago you could tell a poisonous snake from others by the teeth. I'm not willing to check it out, so consider them all potentially dangerous. Would be easier if the poisonous snakes had P marking on top of head.
