The "tards" are the ping list members - not necessarily the subject of the thread.

? A rattlesnake maybe, but a rat snake? Wuss. What's his party affiliation? That might explain why a RAT snake would freak him out.

No, but they can be very big and freaky.
I had an airplane when I lived in Memphis.
I am sure most any pilot would freak out if one slithered
in for a little companionship.

Gray Ratsnakes are so laid back, unless you are a rat, that you’d really have to goad it to make it bite.

Rat snakes impersonate rattlesnakes frequently as a means of self defense. They even change their heads to diamond shapes and hiss to sound like rattles. They’ve scared me more than once.

*LOL* Wuss is right. I worked in a pet store years ago. One of my favorite snakes was a near 7 ft labyrinth Burmese python. I’d wear this snake wrapped around me every chance I got during shifts. A coworker owned a 11 ft albino Burmese python. Halloween was made memorable when the store owner stood in the front entranceway of the store (we were in a mall) with the albino python wrapped around him and handed out candy to the trick-or-treaters.

Is it me, or has there been a lot of “snake in a plane” stories lately?

Lord, have mercy, what you got to watch out for is HOOPSNAKES! They will twist around and grab their tail in their mouth, and roll down the hill at 60 mph, AND EAT YOU!
I see Rat Snakes almost daily, they don’t “impersonate” anything. I just pick them up and move them out of the way.
If you really persist, and aggravate a Rat Snake enough to bite you, it may die. Their teeth are fragile, biting you may cause a fatal mouth infection. Rat Snakes can live for 25 years, and they are no way totally stupid.
I don’t want to pick on you, but if you’re gonna get scared find something really scary!
Last thing to scare me was a Yankee girl from Atlantic City, pretty little critter, almost fooled me!
