Hula's aversion to snakes started at a very early age, probably around 1967 when her grandpa killed this four foot long cottonmouth that climbed into his fishing boat. Shivvvvverrrrrr.......
I get the creepy crawlies just looking at this picture.
Snakes don't give me the creeps, but I could see how that one might. Suspect your Grandpa wasn't too comfy either, he's not holding that in his hand is he.
I used to be terrified of them but have come to like them now after dreaming about snakes constantly for weeks they suddenly ceased to scare me. Having said that I will still watch where I step when bush walking around here. Our local snakes are a bit deadly! :-)
I'm a 40-something mother, wife, sister and daughter. I'm a wanna be photographer who spends her spare time dreaming about traveling the world and taking pictures.
