Ireland seems to be doing okay without them.
Just how important are these snakes?
Snake *ping*
DemocRATs seem like snakes, but they are also like rodents. Which are they?
That was in reference to “The reptile is thought to have come from terrestrial lizards that existed around 174.1 million to 163.5 million years ago.”
Oh Boy...
SNAKE !

Hath God Truly Said...?
Muslims are snakes.
Snakes are ok........As long as they are somewhere else....
This global observance challenges negative perceptions and encourages a deeper understanding...
"World Snake Day" certainly is an interesting topic in its time for a number of reasons.
For starters, snake (Hebrew nachash, נחש) and Messiah (Mashiach, משיח) are the classic examples given in the Jewish world for the concept of "a thing and its opposite" (dvar vehipuchu, דבר והיפוכו):
One snake that stands out historically is the first one, THE snake, the one that convinced Chava to eat from the Aitz HaDa'as Tov v'Ra, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, against God's will. Thanks to his ruse and advice, Mankind was sent into the longest exile to date, the one that won't conclude until Moshiach ends it. Hence, the gematria of Moshiach (40+300+10+8) and nachash (50+300+8) are equal, 358, since they represent two opposite sides of the same coin. The snake caused us to go into exile and Moshiach will bring us out of exile.
The date chosen [by whomever, whenever] -- 7/16 -- links to the teaching, because the thing AND its opposite (nachash + Mashiach) = 716.
And also because when 358 is added to its opposite (reverse): 358 + 853 = 1211 = 173 x 7 =
"All roads lead to Mashiach" ( כל הדרכים מובילות למשיח),
853 + 358
Or the serpent, depending:
"In the path that a person wants to walk -- he is led." (Makkot 10b.5)
The Messiah-358 comparison also works with "The Grinch" ('הגרינץ) who also = 358. Unlike the serpent, though, the Grinch had an epiphany that maybe Christmas didn't come from a store. He got to thinking and as a result, his heart grew three sizes that day.
Thus concerning Christmas and the time (July) --
"A thing and its opposite" (דבר והיפוכו) = 339
The opposite of 339 is 933 =
The Sunshine Protection Act (חוק קיבוע שעון הקיץ), more literally "the law fixing (to make permanent) the summer clock" (the Hebrew term for DST).
It "passed the House" on July 14, 2026 (308--117).
The Hebrew title popped up yesterday off of the act's Wikipedia page, which only comes in one alternate language -- Hebrew.
The Hebrew page was just created yesterday.
In related news (sunshine and light), July 16th is the 197th day of the year, corresponding to the number of letters in the first Day of Creation (Genesis 1:1-5),
as well as to the atomic weight of gold.

Atomically, July 16th is the birthday of the Atomic Age (1945).
Also blast-wise, the launch of Apollo 11 (1969)

That ecosystem is not my boot.
Any snake found there will be firmly escorted out.
Genesis 3 does not mention Satan, just the serpent. The serpent’s motive in tricking Eve into eating the forbidden fruit is not stated.
Moses and his Bronze Serpent always Fascinated me.

Oddly enough an 85 year old friend down the road saw a 5ft black snake in his house this morning.
