In a recent exchange of e-mails I have been talking to a co-worker who owns a red tail boa. I found my answer to her question: "You afraid of snakes??" interesting.

Seriously, uh, yeah. I'm not phobic but they seem so slithery and quiet -- sneaky...they can climb, bite (even if not poisonous), they can swim and squeeze through tight spots and end up in your attic for years before you discover one lying on your chest staring you in the face, just as you wake up from a strange and phallic dream.....sheesh...don't get me started.
