You have HOW many snakes Ella?????

They are beautiful, my favourite is Tango - what gorgeous markings.

Beautiful as always!

They are my babies Lynda

They're beautiful but I won't ever come over for a visit hahaha...

They are beautiful. Gorgeous colours and markings   

I don't think I've ever known anybody with so many snakes! I bet a few of your visitors get a surprise.

I have to admit that I don't much like snakes in general, but some of the colours of yours are superb!!

maybe just a little plus the rest of the zoo....

I am terrified of snakes but they look so lovely xx

I'm not scared of snakes so long as I am sure they are not going to bite me (especially poisonously)! I stroked and handled a big white boa constrictor once (yes I know it could have squished me, but I trusted that the owner had fed it recently!)

haha little Kai is venomous, but i've been bitten by them all more times then i care to remember

Really? Even the cornsnakes and constrictor species?

Yep there's only a couple of them who haven't bit me!

OK - I won't ever touch a snake again!

Haha don't be daft it's not that bad honestly! And your still very unlikely to be bitten I just handle so many snakes so often that my odds are so much higher

You & me both!  

I wouldn't worry about bitey snakes too much, like Ella said! Very often, you barely even feel it, depending on the species of snake.

The Boa on my course was a nasty piece of work Grumpy as hell and always trying to bite, but he'd pick up on people's fear, so that made it worse. He bit somebody on the face once and the person didn't even realise until he saw the blood.

The smaller snakes are normally quicker to strike anyway, with their nippy little bodies.

...and that's supposed to make me more comfortable with them?

the little ones are usually the worst!

No, it's supposed to make you feel even worse about it! I'm a nice person, aren't I?

It's like Little Man Syndrome. Overcompensating for lack of size.
