I love animals but am also cautiously respectful because let's face it, they can be downright scary at times and cause all kinds of trouble for humans. Beavers, Lions, Tigers, Bees, Mountain Lions and snakes have all made national headlines over the years because of what happened here in Idaho.
We aren't even a week into April, and I've already had a snake encounter in Twin Falls. Lucky for me, it was only a Garter Snake that slithered up to within a foot of my right shoe while golfing with some friends recently.
Idaho wildlife officials say a Boise man had dozens of venomous snakes in his home, many of them not native to the state, which was searched recently with help from police.
