She's pretty.

Do snakes like that not ever bite much? I'd be afraid to hold one for long--too afraid it might swing around and bite me!!

The only time I've ever held a snake was when I was 10 years old and they had this lady bring out tons of kinds of snake telling about them and the last snake was a boa and she let a kid from each class come down and hold part of it up.
The other time was when I was about 18 I guess and there was a 5 ft. long rat snake in my duck's nest trying to get her eggs and I was afraid it might bite my duck so I grabbed it and threw it out.
That's all the snake I've ever touched!!
