Girl Being Bitten by Aggressive Water Snakes

I have a crazy (some may say insane) fascination for reptiles and amphibians, but mainly for snakes. For two weeks out of the year, the Erie Water Snakes are more than abundant on the shores of Lake Erie and the Erie Islands. There is nothing I like better than to go catch them, admire them, and release them. People don't usually understand what I mean when I say my favorite thing to do in the world is to go catch snakes...so here is a taste of what I do! Just for the record....these are not venomous.
