"Put a rubber snake on a country road, and watch how many cars go out of their way to hit it. ( sad )!"

Yeah, no doubt! I stopped once to move a black rat snake out of the road, but before I could get my hands on him, three cars came flying through and purposely crushed him!

About the guy with the snake on the beach: I again understand your concern. But at the same time, where do you draw the line? My old apartment knew I had snakes and didn't have a problem, but I still didn't feel comfortable about taking them outside in my fenced in yard, and it bothered me that it bothered me (does that make sense?) Was it wrong for me to take them outside where neighbors might see? The front of the apartment was basically one large window...should I had felt like I had to close the blinds any time I got one out? Should I be afraid that someone might see me with one standing in front of the window? I wasn't breaking any rules, but someone could of seen me, complained, and the management might not allow them anymore. I own a house now, and should I feel uncomfortable to take them out in my yard for photos? Should I be worried that neighbors might see them, cause a big uproar and get local laws passed banning them? I don't want to feel that. I don't want to feel like I have to keep my pets a secret and hidden (which also will make it look like you're "up to no good" or doing something illegal)
