Since we have been in this house I have never seen any snakes until this summer we have had a couple garden snakes. I don't want the kids to be afraid of snakes so I am happy when they will hold them. Jace had no problem holding the snake. Josie wouldn't do it and Kate was nervous but still held it. I kept telling her "don't worry Kate it won't bite you..." so she would hold it. Not a minute later the scream I heard proved me wrong. Yes that darn snake bit her. She was squeezing it really tight around it's head and it bit her. I really didn't just tell her it wouldn't but I really thought it wouldn't. I probably lost a lot of future trust from my kids now. I guess the lesson learned is to never say never.
