Bless you two. I'm one of the lucky ones -- I even like snakes. When you get to know them, they truly are marvelous creatures and do far more good than harm. The only time I don't want to be around a snake is when they are shedding their skin and that's because they really are foul-tempered then. Guess losing that skin doesn't feel too good.
