Phobias other than guns?

This area of the MN river was all rock outcroppings etc near New Ulm. Just off the road to the big quartzite quarry is one of the best fishing spots in that stretch of the river. one spot is nice mud bank easy to fish from but just downstream is a rock wall across from where the Cottonwood river enters. Short climb down to get to the ledge and a great place for big walleyes. Been reports of rattle snakes around there for years.

Wow....with all the snake haters here, who needs a gun safe. I'll just take all my guns and put them in the same room as my pet snakes.

Well, if you have a room full of pet snakes, if someone does decide they want your guns, they have bigger kahones than me!

No offense, but in my opinion, they belong on TV or the zoo... Not anywhere within 5 miles of me! And as long as I don't see them, i'm fine. lol

Yes, I DO have a room full of snakes. I've always been fasinated by them and have been raising them for over 17 years now. All NON-venomous, BTW. Add that to my fasination of firearms and I gotta be the less than 1% that do both...

Just tell me what part of the state your in! With that many snakes, I don't want to be anywhere within 10 miles of your location! Even watching them on tv, it just makes my skin crawl.

Now I know if I ever see some big snake in my yard, if I don't grab every tool out of the shed to kill the gosh darn thing, I atleast know I can come on here, and find someone who will probably take it! lol

Years ago there was a report of a rattler in Goose Berry Falls, made by a forest sercive Ranger!

Knowing how well most people "like" snakes, it was probably a bull snake. Gooseberry Falls is out of the normal range of Timber rattlers...too far North. Talk to some people and EVERY snake they see is a rattlesnake!

I hope your room doesn't smell like the snake pens I've seen. The scent is... unique.

I'm completely freaked out by snakes too, especially those dam garter snakes, total hebegeebies. Its weird though, when I was a kid I had no problem chasing them around with the lawnmower and chopping them up but now, NO WAY, I see a snake and go the other way until I'm on some kind of pavement or concrete. I'm a home inspector so unfortunately I see my fair share and if the client is with me it takes everything I have to remain professional.

If anyone knows of a way to treat this let me know, it makes absolutely no sense and gives the word irrational a whole new meaning.

Well, i'm not a fan at all of snakes... Thinking I need to somehow swing a deal with snakeman to have him come mow my lawn. I always seem to see one or two while mowing. (offer ammo, place to shoot, something!) Last year I saw one, and I was doing circles and every other shape with the zero turn trying to chop that thing up! Don't think I got it though.
