SNAKES!!! I am deathly afraid of snakes, places where snakes might be, and even a photo of a snake ever since I was bit when young, and my parents were over-wrought about it. So I thought I was about to die. If you look in my photos you will see a photo of me reclining with a python all over me. It took me six hours of coaxing to get that one done. I can still feel the cool, clammy scales sliding on me.
