Snakes are very dangerous if they are venomous.I also dislike rats, and snakes...kind of goes along with my hatred of back stabbing hypocrites.
Don't care for milk.
As for butter, I do like it and if you don't want all the fat and calories, try marscapone. It tastes just like butter and has about half the calories. TJ's brand is very good and probably the cheapest.
I almost stepped on a big diamondback rattlesnake a few years back.
That could have cost me my leg.
Rats spread disease from their fleas. They are very bad (as DJ Trump would say).
