  ??? Do snakes run (well slide) around free in Virginia?

Yes, all kinds, but only two that are poisonous. We have the black snakes, corn snakes, green racers, green snakes, and a few others.

Fran, I am so glad your going, take plenty of water, it is very dry out there. You will love it.

Also if you are in the William, AZ area you can take the Grand Canyon Rilway to the canyon, it is relaxing esp. after driving so much.

I imagine it will be very hot out there in August, too.  Thanks for the suggestions.

We visited Yellowstone a few years ago, and seeing Old Faithful erupt brought tears to my eyes.  I think I'm going to be so in awe at the Grand Canyon that I'll be rendered speechless. 

Oh, and I'm glad you helped your mom fulfill her wish.  Good for her.  Good for you.

OK.  Back to snakes....  :)

             I loved this question Natalie.  I dont really kknow anywhere that keeps all their snakes in zoos, or
terrariums.  But thats an idea..its an interesting thought though.  Now that we have a real life snake catcher, and wrangler...He also knows their mating call.  When he sees it...



     Beautiful mind

I think that is the state motto of West Virginia, hoome of Jolo, the vatican of snake handling.

About the only poisonous snakes we have are copperheads and water moccasins. The black snakes hate them so if you have black snakes they will stay away. Black snakes also catch mice. They are fairly common in my area, but only in the summer months.

And cottonmouths?  We had those when I lived in Louisa County.

Yeah they live around the water, swim in fact. That was one of my worst childhood nightmares that one would get me while I was swimming.

I dreamt a couple of nights ago that my momma's neighborhood had a minor flood.

Not likely since they're on a hillside that slopes gently southeast for a hundred miles to the Atlantic Ocean.   ::)

Be that as it may, I was enjoying swimming in 3 or 4 feet of water in the back yard. The water began to recede fairly quickly and I came to be worried about snakes.

Turned out there were some at the lower fence, but they were sort of flattened down, compressed, freeze-dried, inactive. So I got a towel and dried off.

This is the thread to post dreams about snakes, right?   :D
