No snakes in the house.....ever
Nada. None. Zero. Never let my son own one.
If one got in the house, we chased it out.
I don't like the SMELL of reptiles either.
No spiders either. And heaven help if I saw one in the house, garage or even yard, it would be dead, evcen if it was bigger than me. And ER, you know how big those wolf spiders get and how lightening fast they are. I would go into full battle mode and pull away furniture and fight it to the death. Didn't want no wolf spider jmping on me in my sleep.
