Snake Charmer

I thought the gorgons would like to meet my husband Laurie, when he was young and bulletproof. He worked for many years as a snake handler and is still called out to relocate the odd brown snake in the suburbs. he's the only person I know who is totally at ease with snakes and calls them `beautiful'. He is also the only person who has ever persuaded me to touch one. Therefore whenever I enter the House of Serpents I ask his advice and he suggests calmness and confidence are the best qualities to have when communing with snakes.
