A milk snake once fell out of the ceiling at a radio station owned by one of my clients, right in the middle of the morning show. It landed at the feet of the owner's daughter, and pandemonium ensued. The snake had to be ushered out the back door by the morning jock, who was an almost perfect clone of WKRPin Cincinnati's Dr. Johnny Fever. In this part of the counry, we have the eastern milk snake, Lampropeltis triangulum. It's a less colorful relative of the southern ones that mimic the candy-cane pattern of the coral snake. Milk snakes fall into the category of ill-tempered but harmless snakes; I don't know why so many people hate or fear them. The mice are actually more dangerous; not only do they spread disease, but they can actually burn down buildings by gnawing through electrical insulation. umar
