Jokes aside, this was a very interesting night where the herpetology club brought in a bunch of snakes of various sizes for everyone to hold and marvel at. I was fortunate enough to hold a few different snakes, and my favourite ones were the Corn snake and the Mexican Pine snake. This is the first time I have ever held a live snake before, and I was amazed at how soft and smooth they were to feel. I was under the impression that their scales would be much harder and rougher in texture, but I was surprised by their smooth, yet muscular feel. I also found it incredible how calm these animals were. For such a fearsome reputation, the snakes were very easy to handle, and they were very keen to explore everybody. Overall this was a great experience to have had such intimate contact which such a respectable predator, and is something I will not soon forget.
