See the look of pride on Little John's face? That's because he got his first snakebite today. (I guess you have to be a 7 year old boy to understand why that's so happy.) He found this baby Northern Water Snake in our creek, and proudly held it. In the process, it bit him. Fortunately, the bite didn't hurt, but only tickled John. Nonetheless, if you look at the bottom picture, you'll see on John's right thumb the tell-tale red fang marks where he got bit. Do I hear grandmothers in West Virginia screaming at Tim and me right now??? 
What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails.
That's what little boys are made of!
