Thanks I have a special fondness for worm snakes. I have a worm snake to thank for my girlfriend being into my field herping hobby with me. She was scared of snakes when we met, but I drug her into the woods anyway. The first snake we found was a medium sized worm snake.


It took me about 5 minutes, but after assuring her several times that this snake would not herm her, or even attempt to bite her, she finally agreed to hold it. He kept trying to dig down between her fingers, but after I explained to her that he was only trying to escape into the darkness, she wasn't scared of him anymore. She fell in love with the little guy immediately!


Now she's semi-comfortable grabbing hold of 5' or 6' wild black rat snakes!
