i was going outside to smoke a cig, and im at work. im talking on my cell phone and something makes me look down. i cant close the door cause ill be locked out. but 6 inches from my left toes is laying a copperhead snake. i dont think i have ever jumped that high before in my life,, and thats saying something. im not normally to skittish when it comes to snakes, but when one kinda sneaks up on ya and pops up to say hi,,, well, i almost had to clean out my pants.

lol well he could been mean and bit u he gave ya a sothern hello

at least u didnt let the door close behind ya.

i am from north carolina, so im used to them, but right at the door of an office building in raleigh, the capital city....... check please!!!!! thats alright.,,, he wont bite anyone anytime soon,, i kinda squisheded his head

You squisheded my snake???!!!! I onlly left him out there for a minute!!! And to think I was considering moving down there!!!








just kidding!!......it was more like ten minutes

eileena,, if he was yours,, my bad,,, but i dont like getting surprised by something that can kill me. does a number on the ticker. and i would really hate to explain why my tan khakies have suddenly turned brown in the back,,,lol

I'd rather spend a week in a roomful of snakes than 10 minutes in a room with ONE spider.

(Please - don't anybody trot out that "you're always within 4 feet of a spider" crap. It just makes me queasier).

the runny thing was he reared back like he was going to bite me, and when i got back in, yea he was still alive at the time, a spider started walking all over him and he NEVER moved. but let me get within 5 foot of him he was looking dead at me flicking that tounge,,,,,

Yuck. A SPIDER walking on a SNAKE.

Definitely the stuff of nightmares.....

i dont mind spiders, but one on top of a copperhead,, yeah,,, wont be likin that one too terribly much

Yeah, don't mention spiders to my daughter either....she freaks out everytime she goes in a room and sees one. One night she almost jumped out of a moving car because she saw a spider on the dashboard.

i have a celtic knotwork spider tattoo on my back. i dont mind them, but snakes,, oh helllllllllllll no.

I read somewhere that we all swallow spiders in our sleep...
pleasant dreams bookworm.

I'm sorry bookworm, this mean streak of mine keeps popping up at bad times.

GAW! I'm horribly arachniphobic... first off, snakes don't bother me... but spiders are another tning, Eileena, your daughter sounds alot like me. Bookworm...everytime i hear something like 'people eat 8 spiders a year without knowing it." I literally gag. If i have to go in a room but i KNOW there's a spider in there, i won't go in there... Couldn't force me with a Hot cow iron.


Now Thumper, It is quit possible that the snake you stomped on (*sheds a tear*) was only seaking your body warmth and when you squeeled like a girl, felt thretened and reared up. if you had flicked your ciggarett over his head, it would have distracted him enough for you to get away. They sens suddon temp chnages, and the cherry of your Cigg would have exploded on the ground, which would have made him turn. and there's your chnace to get away.

i dont kill many snakes, but ones that in any way threaten me, i will kill, specially the ones that can kill me. its kinda a defensive thing. black snakes, king snakes, anything like that i dont mess with, i know they are very helpful, but cottonmouths, coral, rattlers and copperheads are marked in my book. thats just me.

The only snake around here is the deadly one eyed trouser snake with the roll neck sweater, but I guess that's something entirely different.

yeah uk.. i have a pet one, and he goes everywhere with me. thats the only one i have no fear of,

Problem is, the damn things don't like having to wear raincoats when they have to go into damp places, and everytime they do any exercise they always seem to throw up for some reason.

seems to be they would enjoy it, but ya know. all you have to do is smack em around a little and they get in line, no pun intended.
