Snakes Alive!

I had a really interesting free will exercise at school today. During my Honors English class we just came back from lunch and I saw there was an empty looking aquarium tank at the front of the room. Of course, when I got closer I saw that it actually had two snakes in it! I started freaking out because I was afraid of snakes. (They were in there because we were reading a really descriptive story about snakes) Anyway, so when we started reading the story Ms. Crowe started to pass around the two snakes. I, of course, didn't hold them, but almost everyone else did. Once I saw how the snakes interacted and that the students were still living I decided to try. So first I just touched the snake and then eventually I picked him up. It was surprisingly not slimy or disgusting or gross at all. I was really proud of myself when I was completely done. It wasn't near as bad as what I expected.
