Yeah, it would have been funny, and I would have been a little more worried, but when I first picked him up, he acted like it happened all the time. Calm as could be and just looking around.

South Carolina? Man, you're in snake heaven. I actually live in Indiana and was just visiting NC. You should be able to find tons of snakes there in SC.
