A long overdue catch-up dinner with friends coincided with his snake-sitting for other friends, so before dinner, I handled my first ever snakes.
It’s much easier to do when you’ve been assured that they’re non-venomous, and not really interested in attacking people.
The snakes we saw were quite docile, although it’s still a very strange thing to watch a creature with no legs move around.

Aren’t they cool to feel as they move round on your arm and they actually feel so soft and not scratchy?
They’re much less scary than I thought - I’m not saying I’d run out and have them as pets, but I think I’d probably be okay with handling them if I get another chance at it.
The next day I met a guy who keeps venomous snakes: I think it would be a lot harder to relax around them, but he seems to prefer them to the safer kind.
