I did learn to appreciate the king snakes. They are really very pretty. I saw a photo on dg of one eating a rattlesnake. That made me appreciate them even more.
I just really didn't like being surprised by a snake! A moving scarf scared the $%# out of me. LOL
I had a snake on a plant. It was a ribbon snake. That one did not bother me at all. I left it alone to eat bugs.
