I love this! I am not exactly scared of snakes, but I am not taking chances. It is absolutely incredible when you hold a snake and you feel the power of their muscles. When God took away the snake's legs and ordered it to sail on its stomach, He compensated the loss of legs with those muscles!
They are VERY powerful - it is one of the surprising and fascinating things about holding a snake! Even the smaller ones are very strong and of course massively flexible. It's incredible how many different forms life takes!
