Snakes? Gorgeous creatures. I love them.

I don't mind snakes either. They aren't the slimy creatures some people think they are. You get a better feel for them by handling the larger ones.

I would much prefer a snake over a spider. Especially here in Canada where we have no poisonous snakes! I just can't stand the smell of snakes.

Aurora :O you get close enough to smell snakes?? I stay far away from them so I don't even know if they smell

Heheh yea, I just picked up a garder snake the other day at the camp to show E, boy he stunk something bad!

Garder snakes release that smell to ward off things, If you are gentle and have that touch, you can hold one without it smelling up the place!

Copperheads have a good smell, cucumber-ish to me.

I love snakes. They are such fascinating creatures.

As a child I used to find garder snakes, black snakes, and copper heads and hold them. (I realize now as I'm older the copperheads were not such a good idea, but I never once got bitten)

There was this beautiful black snake in my grandmother's basement one day, had to be at least 4ft long. He was huge and so pretty. I was the only one willing to get it out of the basement. Funny actually seeing as how I was a 12 year old girl surrounded by middle aged adults, including 2 men.

Thanks for sharing, lyra. Yes, snakes do not scare me either, of course, being a lot older then you and wiser probably, I pick the ones I want to hold, but basically the larger snakes are just lovely to hold and actually quite gentle. They know their strengths and can 'feel' your compatibility.

Now I do not pick up just any snake, I was even younger then. Tick, I'm curious, how old do you think I am?

Lyra, could not even guess, no guidelines. I am almost 70 though.

Tick

Tick! I thought you were like 50 :o I still love you, maybe a bit more now :)

You're 70, I would've guessed 40.

Ohh Lyra, now you're just trying to make me look bad! :p

Can I say 30? Lol

Here's a new-ish pic.
Can't believe how much Cedric has grown.

Ohhhhhhhhhh.MG! He is so cute! Now that is a "woe is me" kind of face!

He's pure evil is that dog LOL You wouldn't think it to look at him but he's bloody naughty :D

Here's one of him at 5 months... he is 8 months in the photo above.
That's a heck of a growth spurt.

Aww Cedric look so sad :) I know it's not their real feeling, but I can't help feeling that way lol.

Otherwise, I think that Cyrus needs a new hair cut :p

I know what you mean Unky, he always looks miserable even when he's playing!

Haha Cyrus always has his hair covering his eyes, it's a wonder he can see.

I love him! He reminds me of Droopy.

Shaz, Cedric is starting to look so grown up. Cyrus is still so adorable. How are Prada and Brody doing?
