Found this little guy crawling around the floor by my bed. Very non-aggressive. Probably a Rat Snake. Non-venomous.

We have quite a few venomous snakes here in Texas as well and, as a result, tend to know the difference. There is the occasional dumb ass though.

Nice pictures. Snakes are interesting creatures. I have a Corn snake and a Bull snake myself.
On a differnt note I like messing around with scorpions (not the deadly ones...) - I used to have quite a few pet Emperor scorpions.

There's no such thing as a harmless snake. They're all quite capable of giving me a heart attack, thank you very much!

Oz tends to hog the glory when it comes to nasties...
BTW...the Inland Taipan only has 46cc of venom but the toxicity is 0.01ml/Kg.... in other words, 1 milking is enough for about 50 average blokes to snuff it...

Hehe, I still wouldn't want to wake up in the morning and see that. I do get one in the pool now and again.

Snakes are illegal in Hawaii. You get in trouble if you bring one.
The idea is since we don't have any we don't want any.

I ran across a few during my excursion there...

Ooh, gosh, I hate snakes... there was one in our living room a few years ago. Crawling atop the fire place. My father pulled his hat off it and boom, there it was. 
Let's just say he didn't have a pleasant ending.

There are a few poisonous snakes here in Florida. I know a fella who got struck on the arm by a 6-7' diamondback. He was wearing a hunting jacket at the time so he didn't get any venom, but the strike was so hard it broke his arm (both bones) The last decade or so we've had problems with collectors and the non-domestic Boas and other assorted escapees and throw aways. A couple years ago there was a local news story about a 20 ft long Python which Animal Control had to remove from under a house. People in the neighborhood had been complaining about missing dogs and cats.
We have a similiar problem with exotic fish. Some of the lakes in South Florida have been known to produce pirahna.
