Your shirt or you holding a snake?
Neah, the pic doesn't generate any emotion. I actually love going into the reptile exhibit at any aquarium/zoo and checking them out. But it's different when there is no pane of glass between us. No way would I ever attempt to handle one.
Last year, we had a cool black racer living in the front bushes. Supposedly beneficial. I had fun with the kids stalking him and trying to find him every day. I left him alone, and he left me alone. And then one afternoon, I was watering some newly planted bushes way in the back and a monster black snake was in there and lunged at me trying to kill me with its huge fangs. I calmly walk back to garage, came back, and he was still there waiting for me. Almost taunting me. Dead snake. So I am not exaggerating, 2 minutes later in another bush... it happens again. I couldn't believe it. Dead snake. I knew what I had to do next. So I walk to the front of the house to find their "cool" brother, which I did. He had to be the mastermind luring in all his pals. And.... well.... like I said, his evil siblings sealed his fate.
no excuses for the shirt, that was in my dark Tallahassee days.
But my Dad is a big reptile fan so I've grown up around snakes my entire life, have lots of respect for them. Hell, before I was born my Dad had a pet rattlesnake. He's a bit crazy.
Black racers are very cool, so thanks for killing them you a$$hole! The snake in this pic is a rat snake, they eat rats. You know, those gross rodents that can spread disease? Or maybe you're a big rat fan.
IDK, I kinda liked the shirt. :hippie:no excuses for the shirt, that was in my dark Tallahassee days.

Yes. The shirt is covering the tattoo.

Yes, there are yellow and red. There is no reason to kill either unless you're an a$$.I thought the rat snakes were yellow, that one appears orange, or are there different ones?
Edit: I see Cooter made comment later.
Had one of these bastids on the side of the house a couple of months ago.
We live in a cul-de-sac, and there is a street behind us, so we technically have a next door neighbor that's on that back street. They don't take care of their damn yard at all, and they are zoned agricultural so we can't even get the damn county to do anything about it.
At any rate, I decided to let it live to take care of any crap over in their yard
Or maybe just prefer conversation ;)I'm beginning to think you're Spikes...it seems you fear Google.
