Snakes etc.

Now the next few post that you see here will involve some of the most recent photos of the reptiles I have encountered.

I will stress that you should never try and catch snakes or reptiles if you are not 100% sure of the consequences of being bitten by it.  I have done endless hours of studying before attempting to apprehend these critters. 

I am mostly fascinated by their beauty and will always let them go after observing them.  I started catching snakes when I was just a young boy.  I was bit by a garder snake in New Brunswick, Canada.  I ran home an cried to my mom because it was painful indeed.  Much like a sting from a wasp.  Needless to say, I have never grabbed a snake by the tail again.  My dad taught me lots about snakes and taught me to be friendly and nice to them as they never ever bother us.  My mom was petrified of them.  The following snakes are just the ones that I caught around the house.  I plan on doing some hikes through the jungle soon and getting the pictures of the deadly Pit vipers. 

In this region alone there are over 100 species of snakes.  Identifying them is interesting and involves much more then just seeing their colors.
