1. Interesting. Besides a few Far Side cartoons, I had never thought of snakes going to bed.

2. Nice, neat package.

Wish I could go to bed that fast! Snakes are amazing creatures.

4. I decided to post this since he looked so comfortable...

And my cat likes to sleep kind of like that, too - maybe it reminded me. At the moment he's sleeping in the hammock of the "cat tree," curled up just like that...

6. I thought this was going to be a post with a comic showing a Trump Admin member (insert name here as

too many to name) slithering into bed but this great too.

9. Many years ago I owned an Emerald Tree Boa.

It was the only snake in my collection that I didn't handle.

10. Oh, they are bitey little fuckers.

Those and reticulated pythons are simply unsuited to pet-style captivity.

13. I thought he was actually cute - getting comfortable to sleep

Snakes have never bothered me and this one looks quite tame and rather pretty. One of my first summer jobs was driving a swan boat at an amusement park and there was a water snake who liked to sun himself on the dam at the end of the "river." Management freaked out at the snapping turtles we'd encounter (afraid of lawsuits) so my Dad helped me "rehome" several of them that summer. As for the snake, I'd quickly shoo him back into the water if I was afraid anyone was watching.

12. I'm tired just watching that.

Looks like he's making himself invulnerable to predators.
