Loud, terrified screams from close encounter of serpent kind

Health Dept. employee throws support to snake picture warning faction
About: Chorus of scaredy cats growing

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:
BR>Sorry, Ed, but I have to join the movement for some sort of warning for snake pictures. If you were out and about anywhere in Columbia a few Monday mornings ago and heard a loud scream, that would have been me as I encountered a snake at the bottom of the steps to the side employee entrance here at the Health Dept.



The afore-mentioned screams were heard by a man in his vehicle parked in our front parking lot. He gallantly came to my rescue, and was also kind enough not to mention the spectacle of my dash to the edge of the parking lot, as I was attempting to put as much distance between me and the snake as I could without having to leave our property.

All that day people kept wanting to know what kind it was, how long was it, etc., to which I would always reply "What does that matter?? It was a SNAKE!!!!!!"

So yes, a snake picture warning would be nice...

Thanks!
s/Angie Murrell

PS: I can laugh now, but it certainly wasn't funny at the time. Anaconda or garter, they're all snakes - Ugh!!!
