Does anybody know any good snake message boards?? I want to get lots of info on snakes before buying. But my mom says that there will never be a reptile in the house but with my obession with snakes it is kind of hard to survive!

Anyway the other day I was at my uncle's house and he has a garter(forgive my spelling) snake, a non-poisonous rattler(rattle snake), and I forgot the other one but it was a baby. So he let me hold them and stuff and it was really cool!! They felt kind of dry but not slimy at all! The rattler one was cool to hold because he was the biggest and when I was holding him he wanted to crawl up my neck!

Also once a long time ago my mom took me to a reptile museum and I got to hold a big snake but I was like 6 so I do not remember the type. The only memory I have of that trip is my mom runnng out when the snake touched her.
