Oh but they ARE!! I would much rather have a fox snake than a box of chocolates, by FAR. Twenty boxes of chocolates, for that matter.

Sadly, I was burdened with the mother with the huge phobia of snakes and lizards and pretty much anything that resembles them. I mean, the woman gave herself an electric shock and knocked herself out because her system got so overloaded in fear when she saw a snake once. I believe it was a garter snake. *sigh* So I couldn't even have pictures of them and I think they're ever so neat.

I love Mike!
