The top ten most dangerous snakes are right here in Australia. But I don' t mind them. And they're not slimy at all!
They are nice and smooth and powerful. I've held a boa constricter. It was huge! Really heavy and really really long. It was awesome!
And I ain't scared of spiders really either. Though if I came up against Aragog, I might get a few goosebumps... :P

I always think of snakes when I think of Slytherin. Because snakes slither.
