any type of snake is bad enough! :) I hate them...had to touch one once because mum said she would only put money in the charity box if I touched one, I would feel selfish and gulity if I didn't touch it...yuck hated it, and it moved...My brother however had a LARGE snake go over his tummy (they lined loads of kids up and let the snake slither across them)...Reason number1 against australia!!
