choose one. bats? or snakes? which one you can handle? you don't have to eat it. just the thought, a look, or a close encounter for one, which one can you be able to handle.

a bat may well be a lot faster than you, but there's no reason for it to actually chase you.

I think I can handle a bat more as compared to a snake. I cant even be near a snake without running away. althought handling a bat can be challenging, at least its not dangerous like the snake.

I think i can handle snakes better. Bats will fly away and can mess up with me.. they already freak me out when i am walking alone sometimes,late at nights

I cant say I like the thought of either one ....But If I had to choose I would have to pick the Bat. Happy posting Maiax2k6 Stacy

I have handled both in my lifetime and am not afraid or either. Bats do good things for us in eating unwelcom pest that can make us sick. Garder snakes will even eat slugs from your garden. Bats eat plenty of mosquitoes and other pest. If you handle any animals either domestic or wild make sure to wash your hands afterwards.

A Snake - Snakes get me terribly scared!!!
to be frank, i am afraid of both of them. but if the need and urgency arise, i think i would be more comfortable with bats than with snakes. snakes really scare me, even if it is not a poisonous one.

Being as to how I have had two very close encounters with snakes, I guess I would choose them. Let me tell you a story, very funny...I'll make it short... well, we went to visit my father in law at his ranch. After chugging down like a gallon of ice tea, i ran to the bathroom, it was a regular bathroom in a small house they built years ago, well, as i lowered my blue jeans and undies, i saw something move with the corner of my eye. Yup, sure enough, it was a snake. I ran out of that bathroom with my pants and undies still around my ankles!!! Hahahaha. Well, later i found out it wasn't poisonous. It was a water snakes. I guess it just got lost, too far away from the pond.

Snakes are animals that serve man well in that they will eat pest animals that carry diseases. Bats are useful in that many plants depend on them to get pollinated and other bats eat many insects like those pesky mosquitoes. I have caught many snakes in my lifetime and even caught a few bats so I am not afraid of either and actually welcome both types onto my world.
