They control rodents. No, I don't want to sleep with them or play with them, but life isn't necessarily easy for them. They have their own ways of mortality. The diseases rodents carry are far more dangerous.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984115229811752666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-86070054060095813202009-04-21T14:22:00.000-05:002009-04-21T14:22:00.000-05:00The whole thing seems unnecessarily cruel to me, a...The whole thing seems unnecessarily cruel to me, apart from that, snakes are necessary to keep the ecological balance.Arijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-1412757426600382712009-04-21T13:58:00.000-05:002009-04-21T13:58:00.000-05:00Snakes are not popular in most countries, but the...Snakes are not popular in most countries, but they play sometimes an important role in legends and religions.

Never put feet or hands where you can't see first.<br /><br />It's not that I like snakes in general or rattlers in particular. But they're not going to stop me from hiking in their home territory.Gaelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05784162697113288888noreply@blogger.com
