Yet the ignorance stumbles on...

;D

I’m still laughing about the people who were “chased by snakes”.

I bet it was Coachwhips, who bit their own tails and rolled like hoops, after them.

/snerk!

I think you and me may be the only hardcore Ophidiophiles (fancy word for snake lovers) here on FR. As you may know, I'm a professional bird surveyor but in the field, I'm ALWAYS looking for snakes. Last year, during the field season, I stumbled upon 8 Great Basin rattlers, 1 sidewinder, 1 western diamondback, and innumerable Mohave Greens.

I also created the Coachwhip Club many years ago. To become a member, you must catch a coachwhip, and have it bite you. Funny thing is, it's an extremely easy club to enter. Why? Because if you can actually catch a coachwhip, it will ALWAYS bite you. Last year was a banner year. We had four new, young field biologists become members! Haha!

All the best, Salamander!
