Snake Man theme song

All Snake Killers

God has made us different,
he made us so unique.
We slither on the ground,
we have no hands and feet.
Though you find us scary,
or maybe just plain weird,
our intentions are not to hurt you
or cause you such great fear.
Our venom's not meant for humans
but to help us when we eat.
So, please stop the senseless killing
before we're all extinct.
We're not saying you have to love us
or tell us we're the best.
God's the one who created us.
So, treat us with respect.

Fears are educated into us
and can, if we wish,
be educated out.
-Karl A. Merringer


A righteous man cares for
the needs of his animal...
Proverbs 12:10

The snake is an animal.
It has a backbone and a heart.
It has red blood.
It drinks water and eats food.
It breathes air and feels fear
just like every other
animal in the world.
And, it's in a body that's
the hardest thing
for the average
person to understand.

 Fire Ant Festival 
A few months ago we were approached by the city of Ashburn Georgia and were asked to attend their annual Fire Ant Festival. We scheduled the event and when the day arrived we got up before daybreak to load the snakes into the trailer. One of the snakes we decided to take was a burmese python that was found just a few days prior crossing a local bridge. Jason put the 45 pound reptile into a large pillowcase and securely tied the top, or so he thought! As we left and began to head toward Ashburn Georgia, Jason who was driving felt something rubbing his left ankle. As the interior light in the truck was turned on, he saw it. The 11 and a half foot python was loose! We then quickly pulled to the side of the road and began removing the snake from the truck who had managed to securely anchor herself with her tail under the seat. Once the snake was back in the bag it was then securely tied again before we continued on. Once in Asburn, we could not help but notice how nice and clean the town seemed to be. It seemed like a very cozy place to be with signs saying, "Welcome to Ashburn Georgia. Home of the Fire Ant Festival." In just a few minutes, our canopy was set up and a few snakes were placed on display. Luckily our canopy provided some much needed shade from the 87 degree beautiful weather. We also had a great view of the airplanes performing their stunt show right over head. At 11:30a.m., Jason shared the "Snakes of Georgia Encounter" with an audience of about 500 people. Due to the temperature, the snakes were really active so being right on top of the rattlesnakes as they were removed from their boxes was a must. After the show we returned to our booth and were on hand to answer snake questions as well as let people hold an alligator or python for a picture. Even the giant fire ant mascot stopped by to hold a snake and have a photo taken. We look forward to participating again. And if you haven't been, be sure to check out the Fire Ant Festival next year on the third saturday in March.
