Sal knew they were snakes when she decided to release them--like the "tenderhearted woman" who picked up the snake and was bitten for her efforts. There's a lesson here, if those who need it will just take it in. Good one, David.

Hahaha!! My Dad used to keep white rats AND snakes as pets, when he was a boy. Separately. I am sorry the rats got eaten though...

No! I don't like rats or snakes. We lived in an old house growing up where there were 🐀 one night as I was sleeping I felt something crawling on my arm I brushed it off and fell back to sleep only to feel the same sensation. I woke up and a rat was crawling all over me. I screamed and jumped like a crazy person. Woke everyone up in the house. My mom was angry at me because I woke up my baby sister. My dad tried to catch the rat using traps but never could catch him. I still wonder to this day where that rat went to. When I see those critters at a zoo or raised as pets my hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww
