Add me to the "better off never seeing a snake" group. I saw a black snake on a running path known for having water moccasins (cottonmouths) in the nearby creek. I almost threw up. Couldn't have been a cottonmouth, it was far too mellow. I can't even stand those cheesy little green snakes and poisonous ones are one of my biggest fears. I can go to the exhibit at the zoo though.
