I like them. I'll often pick them up and show them to my wife, who is interested, but doesn't want to hold or touch them.

"good" and "snake" are mutually exclusive terms.

My ophidiophobia is shared with my neighbor Indiana. Fortunately I've not had nearly as many encounters with them as he has.

Today at a birthday party, we were exchanging snake stories, and a couple from our church were recounting how they spotted a woman harassing a snake with a broom or something, and the snake was spitting at her. Both the husband and the wife saw it, and maybe his mother, too. He was yelling at the woman to stop and get away from the snake, but she didn't listen.

My question is--and I am not doubting them, as they all three love the Lord--what kind of snakes spit? The ones I found online are cobras, from Africa and Asia.

The answer: one I don’t want to come across.
