Not snakes! I'm terrified of snakes. I hope we're outta here soon!

:tsk Not what I want to hear. I live in the middle of rattlesnake country. I think our dogs keep most of them at bay, but they are already moving around like crazy. I'm actually more afraid this year than I've ever been.

I'm with ya... I hope we're out of here--quickly! :pray

One of my employees killed a 5' long, Pygmy Rattlesnake on the job today. It was in the kitchen of a house we are re-wiring. :ohno

I've never seen a snake here in the Milwaukee area. So I'm not worried about it.

"They actually found that there's two separate populations of rattlesnakes. One of them has a venom that affects you more as a traditional rattlesnake would: You get bit, you get localized pain, swelling and stuff like that. The other population has more of a neurotoxic component. That would be something like a cobra, a Crete or a mamba, or something like that. It still gives you the localized pain, but it actually will shut your respiratory system down," Landry said.

This creeps me out!

Snakes scare me.
