  • A very snakey couple of outings. While it didn't produce any big targets, I found dozens of snakes and I'll never complain about that!

He must be a damn good herper, but it seems to be a reptile paradise if he calls that rare :D The common snakes in my area (belgium) take you around 50h of herping to find one- if you did a good job and got lucky. If not, you may not see any for a whole fcking season 😂

      I'm 2 years late to the comment, but absolutely. I am deathly afraid of snakes. Terrified. Will have a pure melt down if I see one in person... but I HATE to see them dead. It makes me so upset. Even though I'm afraid of them, I respect them. They're needed in the environment and in nature and they're really incredible creatures. Whenever I see a dead one in the road it breaks my heart (as would any other dead animal). I hate them, but I will never ever kill one on purpose or bother one if I don't need to.
