I like snakes as long as they are not near me or can’t attack me.

Great job! A very informative article that confirms I should keep my good senses about me and not have them for a pet in my home. Lol! Nicely done.

Interesting info. for those who are “Snake” lovers.I think. I keep miles away from these.

Well done, another interesting article. I hate those albino pythons, I’ve seen them in the zoo and their skin is so transparent you can see their inards pulsing: disgusting!

Another good article. Don’t much care for snakes, not since one ate my pet rabbit. Poor bugsy, may he rest in peace …

Awesome photos and good piece! A note on rattlesnakes: the one you show is a Western Diamondback, and your description fits. But there are many varieties of rattlesnakes – over 20 I think – and some are very aggressive.

Fascinating!
On February 16, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Disliking snakes as I do…… good piece tho!

Excellent one. Picturesque to. Another smash.

I think you should include the snake which only occurs on 1 island and only eats for a few weeks a year (sorry I can’t be more specific) if you do another one.
On February 16, 2009 at 1:19 pm
another great piece.

I don’t need to watch the Nat Geo channel anymore. I just wait for your next article, denus. Another outstanding job.
On February 16, 2009 at 1:56 pm
You and your snakes. lol I hope this one does as well as your last one did.
On February 16, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Again, shocking list and pics.
On February 16, 2009 at 3:05 pm
when are you going to get your own show at NGEO channel?
On February 16, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Great list, denus.
On February 16, 2009 at 3:25 pm
I really enjoyed this article, denus. Nice read! Occasionally black rat snakes will get into our chicken coop and eat the eggs. Not good. We have copperheads around where we live. We don’t kill them — they eat rats and mice — but if any come near the house I move them back out deep into the woods. Anyway, enjoyable article. Nicely done!
On February 16, 2009 at 4:24 pm
Another good article Denus, pays to continue on a winning theme…

All snakes are good finds. I didn’t realize when you got famous with the snake articles.. Keep it up. I am also inspired to join stumbleupon.
The first type of snake eating its own eggs is a revelation. It’s hard to digest the picture, I don’t know how the snake digests the eggs!
On February 21, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Wow, nice pictures.
Snakes make me shudder
