Hey everyone with kids in grade - high school! My institution holds a children’s writing contest every year with cash prizes. I’m always impressed with the responses that we receive. This year features a heavy prompt. Please pass along to anyone you know who would have interested kids.
My youngest is/was really into snakes. At one point he asked for a snake as a pet. That interest has waned and dinosaurs are back in, but I will need to inform him it's the year of the snake.
I’ve always been a snake fan, generally. Back in Ranger School we had a snake identification course in Florida before they turned us loose and they had certified handlers. I was the guy who volunteered to get a black racer bite to see how the bite wounds don’t coagulate.
She was big enough that I had to get two freshly killed rats a month for her. I'd go to the store, request them, and they would walk into a room then come out with a paper bag. I always thought that was pretty grizzly.
Our yard has its share of snakes throughout the year, mostly black rat snakes and garters, as well as a couple venomous deeper into the woods. While they're not generally welcome in the neighbors' yards, I leave them to it (non-venomous, that is). It would be preferable if they did a better job announcing their presence, though.

My roommate and I had snake food for a pet one year... a rat. That was fun.

I had a pet rat (Penny Lane) for a while; she was very bright, and loved a ride on my shoulder. They unfortunately don't live all that long.

The Reds break up the Rogers with Taylor heading to Cincinnati.
As your resident ophidiophobe, you all are nuts.
