I don't mind snakes. Growing up in South Africa there were a couple a snakes around... and I'm not talking just about the government!

Snakes are sometimes perceived as evil, but they are also perceived as medicine. If you look at an ambulance, there's the two snakes on the side of the ambulance. The caduceus, or the staff of Hermes, there's the two snakes going up it, which means that the venom can also be healing.

You can't talk of the dangers of snake poisoning and not mention snakes.

I don't do well with snakes and I can't dance.

I have written a lot about snakes. There's something pretty primordial about it.

I've had a fair amount of experience with snakes, and I find them to be pretty honest in terms of how you read their body language and emotions. They'll tell you when they're grumpy. They'll tell you when they're okay.

If you see a snake, just kill it - don't appoint a committee on snakes.

People don't like to feed live mice and rats to their snakes. Now we have a regular meat food that they will eat. Ninety percent of the snakes will eat this food and love it.

Even if a snake is not poisonous, it should pretend to be venomous.
