CrazyHedgehog,
The Aesculapian baby snakes looked aggressive too, do you know if they tame down in captivity with handling?

How many snakes have you found in the wild? I've only found 2 (my garter and a timber rattler which I sat on and almost kept as a pet). But then again, I haven't really been looking and it was that garter that I found that got me interested in looking for snakes.

WOW!! Someone out there like me?? I thought I was the only one!!! My kids even think I'm weird. lol
I forgot to mention the Northern water snake I have, I plan to release her in late Spring. She was so tiny when I found her late this last fall, I didn't realize how fast they grow, she's huge already, and hate everyone but me. lol Funny how they get to know you.
