Snake Incident

It started out innocently enough, just another evening of letting Gail's pet snakes crawl on the kitchen counter.

Gail posed with one of her favorites...

and I thought I would do the same.  Big mistake!  Not realizing I had picked up a San Onofre Coral Snake, I was bitten severely on the nose.  The venom of this snake has a powerful epidermal toxin that left my face disfigured, or improved, I don't know...

Poor me.
