Cold shivering! Snakes are one of my biggest fears. :O

And yet, I love to go to the forest :D

I’m also a bit afraid of snakes, but I don’t know where this emotional state comes from. 🤔

It is just ''programmed'' in humans that we should be aware with snakes. In some humans, this feeling is stronger. My feeling is a bit too strong :/

Do you fear them because some of them are poisonous, or is there perhaps some other reason? I'm just asking because our Kiemis for one, is not poisonous.

My fear is rational and irrational. It is rational because some snakes are poisonous but on the other hand, even ones that are not poisonous scare the shit out of me, that's irrational. It's a small phobia... For example, some spiders are poisonous and I wouldn't take the poisonous one in my hands but there would be no problem with a harmless spider. Snake on the other hand, is out of question regardless of poisonous or not.

I don't mind them since I see them so often. I tend to go over them accidentally when running outside. I just hope that they don't bite me while I'm squeezing them though

That’s sounded right from some kind of action movie “I just run over the snakes”. 🐍 😝👏🏽 (I guess seeing snakes a lot/ quite regularly reduces the fear.🤗)

Aaaand as we started to talk about the movies, have you seen “Snakes on the plane”? 🤣

I wouldn't go outside if I was scared of them. There are too many of them to bother.

And no I haven't. Is it any good?

Good that they are not very poisonous in Finland.

Wow, Kiemis! 😍✨ I wondered how big/long she is - this photo helped me in estimation. 👏🏽

I'd gather she's gained some length and thickness since then. She's a bit overweight right now, we are re-adjusting her feeding times again, from 12 days to 13 days, then full two weeks and so on to make sure she doesn't become obese. Once she stops gaining thickness we'll know we are at an equilibrium of sorts.

I thought obesity was only humans problem. 😝

Yea it's obviously a human problem, but we are working on it. I'm glad snakes' feeding times are somewhat easy to adjust.

Yep, I guess it would be easier to adjust the weight as you can regulate the meals and feeding times. 🤗 I guess Kiemis(🐍✨) eats at every meal the same? And same amount? 🧐
