[QUOTE="Star*, post: 380186, member: 4964"] When I was younger - (quick story) = hahah I had snakes and spiders for pets - and see this is ALL MY MOMS FAULT and she will and has admitted to it for taking me for walks in the woods to collect leaves. I being that Leo child had to always take it one.step.further. So I love nature. I love bugs - had a huge collection properly displayed, and snakes as pets, and spiders. You name it - I've probably had it except for scorpions. So I realize in the Fall that it gets cold in Ohio and bring my snakes INSIDE my Moms house. I hid them in the basement. Well this one little cinnamon snake (has a pink belly) gets out. Right? WRONG VERY WRONG. It made it's way over to the laundry room while I was in school. It coiled up next to the sorted clothes next to the dryer. Mom picked up a towel and there on the floor was - this little snake. Just curled up. So upstairs she went to find something ANYTHING to put him in. And his demise would be JIF peanut butter. Death by peanut butter, because A. NO WAY was she calling Dad from the mill to come home and help. B.) She had work to get done and wasn't waiting and C.) OH Man when I got home from school was I going to get it because if there was ONE snake - NOW she was looking for the rest!!! She slammed the JIF jar over the snake got him inside capped the lid, and outside he went, on top the garbage can. Fini! I get home from school and on the patio, lined up like a train with towels over every single aquarium were my snakes. On the door was a note - it simply said STAR - SNAKES - GONE - NOW! MOM = ps. JIF jar on trash can. OMG.....I can't remember HOW long I was grounded for but it was a long time. After that - the house rule was NOTHING live in HER house. That worked until the monarch chrysalis' hatched and I had about 12 butterflies flying around my bedroom. THAT was cool - I didn't get grounded for that. [/QUOTE]
