We were at Creation Camp last week and enjoyed taking in all of the nature on the site.  Tadpoles, lizards, frogs, toads, box turtles, bugs, and more!  Our friend had a king snake he allowed the kids to hold, which Darling Daughter willingly did.  We even were surprised to find out that "it" was really a "she" when we found 4 eggs in her terarium one morning.  King snakes are named so, as they eat other snakes, especially the poisonous kinds like cottonmouths, rattlers, etc -- they are immune to their venoms!  Some people think that the snake from Aaron's staff was a king snake, since it devoured the Eygtian magician's snakes in Pharoah's court. (Genesis 7:8-13)
