Grace and the Snake!

 Grace actually loved the snake!

 She likes the way he tickles when he moves

across her hands.

 She likes handling him.

 Observing him.

 And scaring people with him.

 She's not the least bit afraid of snakes,

but she knows when she sees one outside she

needs to ask if it's safe to play with before doing so.

And yes.... this one is perfectly safe.

Even though he bites!

(He doesn't bite Grace)
