Just a gorgeous snake! Handling it felt surreal

When I was in the eighth grade, I found one of these beautiful candy cane specials out in the tree line beyond the football field during P.E. while hiding from the coaches to avoid sweating like a pig. I put it in my underwear so that I could freak out the other kids when we got back into the locker room. Needless to say, it bit me several times.

I never experienced any ill affect at all, but I noticed that the good looking girls started to treat me like a stud from that point on. They always asked to see what I had in my pants.

I've seen those rascals several times while scouting the woods in the early spring. When I see them I bow my head and thank them.
