I don’t think there is.
Usually, ‘snake threads’ consist of “OMG I HATE THOSE @%!&!^*@!!!! THINGS! KILL THEM ALL!!!” posts.
Now imagine if people said that about cats, for instance.
So no, there’s probably no snake ping list, despite the number of FReepers who quietly love and keep snakes.
I’ve seen that talk about cats here on FR, but what are you going to do? A lot of people talk a lot.
Personally, I don’t care for snakes in general as pets, but I did have a garter snake and a rat snake when I was a kid and I do find snakes interesting.
Now spiders, that is something else.
I can deal with all kinds of bugs. I was a kid in the Philippines, I tried to keep just about every insect there was as some kind of pet, big Rhinocerous beetles, Tiger Beetles, Ox Beetles, I even had a nest of carnivorous fire ants in front of my house I came to regard as my own (they cleaned the mollusk remnants out of seashells I caught...clean as a whistle) I had giant praying mantises and cicadas in Japan when I lived there.
But not spiders.
I had an incident when I was about six that completely bugged me out. I was trying to crawl though a drainage pipe that ran under a road near my house. The pipe got narrower as I went, and I got to a point I couldn’t go forward any more, so I looked back to see how to back up, and there were cobwebs all stuck to my jacket, an in those cobwebs, a big daddy longlegs.
Now, we all know the daddy longlegs is about the most benign, harmless spider there is, and it isn’t even really a spider.
But to a six year old kid, a daddy longlegs is about the scariest thing there is. Well, I when berserk, began screaming and bashing myself all over the inside of that pipe, and my brother crawled in and grabbed me by the feet and pulled me out.
I ran up the street, jumping in the air, pirouetting around, screaming and slapping my head and shoulders trying to get the thing off. But every time I looked, it was still there.
We are now getting to be old guys, and my brother still remembers it like it was yesterday, as I do too! I kill spiders with prejudice if they are in my home. Outside, I find them interesting and I look at them, but...in the house, it is a bug hunt.
Funny... I tend to be a Unix/Linux head, but I've actually owned, worked and played on, and programmed Windows computers more than any other over the years. Since I joined FR in 2005 I was astonished that no one had started a Windows ping list. There was a Tech Ping list (ShadowAce) that was oriented more towards Linux and open source, and the Apple/Mac list of Swordmaker's. But no Windows list. It puzzled me...
After 10 years of puzzling, I decided well, wtf not? And I started the Windows Ping List. It's been a treat, even though most of the comments are negative, and mostly from Windows users themselves. But it's held on and grown for going on two years now.
So maybe a Snake Ping List, or perhaps a Reptile Ping List, could be done, if there are in fact enough FReepers who would be interested.
Hell, I'd get on it, even though I don't keep snakes in the house, at least not on purpose. Plenty in the field. Just sayin'. :-)
