Very nice photos, TeresaBurke. I'm trying hard to love snakes ... they're a little scary, but knowledge is what breaks the cycle, knowing its ID, how it's likely to behave, how venomous its bite is. I should probably seek an opportunity to touch snakes and let them (OMG!) touch me in a controlled environment. Yow!
