Marco almost dropped the snake in shock. He hadn't expected the snake to bite him, just take the mouse like a crup would take food. For some reason he just looked at the snake's head in his hand. No noise escaped his lips. He suddenly realised Fabian was trying to remove the snake from his hand. Still he felt no pain. Just staring at it. Then he felt the cold air hit the puncture wounds, "I...thought...safe," he said, before fainting. It was either the sudden hit of the pain, or the shock, but he collapsed anyway.

Fabian rolled his eyes then pressed his fingers against his temple watching Marco's limp body on the ground. He glanced up at the class and addressed them, "This!" he pointed both of his hands towards Marco, "happens when you don't wear your gloves! I'll take him to the hospital wing.. Prefects! Keep an eye on the students until i come back!".


He lifted Marco, slang him over his shoulder and stormed towards the castle. "O woe! O woeful, woeful, woeful day!" he sang along the way.

Dia heard a thud come from a few yards away and looked over there, letting her boa constrictor coil around her wrist. She listened to the professor and sighed wearily, watching Professor Clark carry Marco away. For Merlin's sake, why didn't he just wear his gloves, even if the serpent hadn't been venomous?

Agie shook her head as the Slytherin Captain fainted. "Weak" she muttered under her breath. As if you'd want to touch these things with your bear hands. The thought sent shivers down her spine. Let's hope it doesn't cause any permanent damage, it would be such a shame to damage a Quidditch hand.

Amelia was busy waiting for the Ravenclaw Captain to respond to her pleas about the snake she was looking at when she was suddenly distracted. Marco had just been bit by a snake! She wanted so badly to snicker at him, but could not find the strength to do so. The sixth year actually felt bad for him.

She nodded as Professor Clark told the Prefects to keep an eye on the students until he returned. "Of course, Professor," she said shyly. Why did it have to happen in this class of all classes? No, she was not afraid, but if students had questions she would not be able to help them.

After spending a few minutes attempting to pick up my snake I see that it is a Diamond Python.
Wow, this bugger's a bigh one, I aught to be careful.
I look around at the snake care fully handling it with my dragon hide gloves until I see that it is a male, by the fact that it was strong for its noticably shorter length then the rest of the Pythons of the same species. Looking into its mouth keeping it open with one finger I see that it has no venom sacks and it's fangs were smaller than the Cobra my dad has. Putting the arge snake on the ground I notice that it automatically starts for the crowd.
Well its not afraid of being with others, means it's social.

“Thanks”, Ems smiled. The smiled soon slipped away as Dan dragged her over to a large snake. “Sychev! What are you DOING!?” She snapped. He knew she was scared on snakes. She gulped as she stared at the adder for a while, barely taking in Dan speaking parceltounge, or asking her to get the mice. “Huh?” She said “Oh.. mice.. yeah.” She popped her dragon hide gloves on and went to get a couple of mice. Mice were fine, she could cope with them no problem. But snakes? It was a common fear. She couldn’t quite believe what Professor Clark was making them do.

Ryder sat down his quill in his hand, he had chosen his and Alexandria's snake and he was staring at it in the box. He looked at the snake for another moment. Of course he could identify snakes, couldn't he? He looked at Alexandria who was sitting there looking as if she wanted to poke the snake with her wand.

"Um alright... so Let's get this done then..." he said looking from Alexandria to the snake.

Dan smiled after Ems as she went off to get the mice, he felt half bad for going to a larger snake, but shed have to conquer her fear eventually. When Ems had returned Dan had the snake across his arms slythering happily up his arms and hissing various things at Dan, who was reluctant to talk to it in the middle of class.

Emily wandered back over to Dan with one mouse in each hand. ‘Good job Kate isn’t here’ She thought. The fuss over feeding Henry live crickets had been bad enough. She came to a halt a couple of metres away from Dan, who now had the snake slithering up his arm. “Er… I-I think I’ll j-just stand h-here.” She told him. “Erm... is it male or female?” Maybe Dan could just ask it.

Ems came back looking scared and Dan again rolled his eyes " Ems their harmless , most of them " He wasnt about to discuss poisionous snakes now, he was trying to calm Ems not worry her more. Dan glanced down at the snake, would asking what gender it was offended it, but at that moment the snake hissed that it was male, asif it read his mind " Male " Dan said simply as the snake looked at Ems

Agie was working throughout the questions they were given, when she noticed Sana's snake starting to play up. She watched carefully, making sure the snake wouldn't attack. She would love a chance to stun a snake, as long as no one got hurt.

Sana was acting like a better Black Mamba. She picked her wand and stunned the creature before it acted like a vampire.
She grinned , "Now..did you see my power?? Behave........." she gently turned the snake with her wand as she had her gloves back.

Kerry shivered as she put on her dragon hide gloves. She didn't mind snakes... from afar anyway. Seeing so many around her, so close to her, made her skin crawl. She could feel the hairs sticking up on the back of her neck as she set off in search of what she thought was the perfect snake.

As Kerry wondered towards the small stream running the length of the area, Kerry heard the Professor call out to all Prefects. She turned her head towards the Professor's voice, careful to also keep an eye out for any slithering snakes getting too close to her. Someone had already gotten bitten...Kerry shook her head at as she watched Professor Clark pick a very limp Marco up and rush him to the Hospital wing., "Why doesn't that surprise me. Will the boy ever learn?" she thought to herself as she called out, "You got it Professor!"

Kerry stooped down to get a closer look at a snake that had caught her eye. "This thing is strange looking," Kerry said noting it's rather flat head. "Is it eating a ... ewwww, it is! It's eating a toad!" Kerry cried out. I really didn't need to see that.

Kerry waited for the snake to finish it's prey it was happily swallowing and then bent down to pick it up. "I really hate this part," she mumbled to herself as she grabbed hold of the snake. With a sharp reflex, the snake turned at Kerry and hissed, stretching it's neck in a horizontal direction and puffed itself up. Kerry drew back her hand just as the snake tried to snap at her. Kerry's heart raced as she noticed that the snake had struck at her with it's mouth closed. "What is wrong with this thing?" Kerry asked aloud. "I've never seen such a chicken snake before. Maybe this isn't so bad after all." Kerry thought to herself as she attempted to pick up the snake again.

Taking a deep breath to control her shaking hand, Kerry reached down and picked up the snake again. "I did it!!" she squealed in delight as she felt the snake go limp in her hand. Kerry began to panic. "No! No! This can't be happening. I killed the snake! Professor... I think I killed this snake!" Kerry cried out..and then suddenly realized she was crying out in vain, the professor had left. "What am I going to do? I'll be lucky to get out of here with just a detention..." Kerry said nervously as she dropped the snake to the ground, hoping no one would notice. She was just about to subtly kick the snake underneath a bush and pray it would never be found again, when she noticed the snake began moving again. "What the?! How the?!" Kerry asked in confusion. "It was just dead in my hands! I guess this snake isn't as stupid as I thought it was, it actually knows how to play dead!" Kerry laughed

Kerry was so excited to discover this snake, she wanted to share it with someone. She turned to call out to Agie who only a few feet away, when she realized she still wasn't talking to her. Kerry sighed. "Oh well, just another thing Agie misses out on, this thing is so cool!" Kerry said to herself, as she shot Agie a dirty look while she took out her journal to begin taking notes on the snake. Kerry was determined to figure out what kind of snake this prankster was.



Ooc:

The snake Kerry is working with is the Eastern Hognose Snake, which she will soon find out!

Xana selected a snake specimen, a Madagascar tree boa or Sanzinia, cautiously handling her and attempting to learn about her. The snake was initially very shy and seemed ready to strike, but soon calmed down and began... well... snaking about, as though hunting for something. Perhaps a warm place to be, or a just a cup of coffee and a small snack sized mouse. She took notes as she handled her, inspecting her to determine her gender. As it relaxed the snake grew more and more relaxed it becames like a silent and curious toddler, investigating everything including an attempt to slip up Xana's sleeve.

Giggling, she attempted to feed the snake... but perhaps she wasn't hungry because she wouldn't eat! Or perhaps the mouse needed seasoning. Hmm... Xana read more about the species and learned she was a bit of a closet eater, so she put her in her tank with the mouse and covered her tank, waiting.

Sure enough, after a few minutes there was a horrible SQUEAK! and after waiting a period after that, Xana looked again- either the mouse should be named Houdini or... there was that lump in the snake... Ah, yes. Feeding time, successful.

Shel handled his Speckled Racer with careful hands, making sure it was not disturbed. His love for snakes was strong today. It had always been, but he felt particularly nice about it, right then. No big wonder, either.

Determining the gender. Ah yes. Shel studied, observed, and did just about everything synonymous to his Racer, feeling its slippery skin beneath his fingertips. Once he had determined the gender, he proceeded to measure it. But how to?

Yes, that was the question. For a moment, Shel frowned. Then he flicked his wand, causing a thin, roll of measuring tape to materialize out of midair.

Handy bit of magic, that.

Carefully unrolling the tape, and ensuring that his snake didn't do anything it should be doing in the process, Shel stretched it a little, vaguely noticing the deep, red scale markings on it. On the tape, that is. He reached towards his snake, and the animal hissed. Loudly.

Oops.

Shel was careful not to make any sudden movements around his Racer, now. He knew animals mistrusted movements, especially those that were all too sudden, and that was why he accepted that quietude, for the moment, would be the best policy. As the Racer calmed down, Shel smiled.

"I should give you a name, love."

The snake raised his head, and hissed again. This time, though, it was a much, much friendlier hiss. Smiling slightly, Shel laid down the roll of measuring tape next to the snake. "Let's see - How about Meteor? But that would be too wild, wouldn't it?"

Once again, the snake hissed, gently. Shel had started to measure it, now. From the corner of his eye, he watched Fabian carry Marco away, and shook his head. Why hadn't the guy worn protective gloves?

Amelia was still observing the yellowish-black snake, waiting for that Ravenclaw captain to help her, when she heard Kerry's cries. She jumped back and instantly glanced over at her fellow Prefect to make sure that she was okay. "Kerry? Is that you?" she asked stupidly, knowing full well that she was the shortest seventh year Hogwarts ever saw. Right...she's fine.

The sixth year left her own snake and walked over to the Gryffindor Prefect. "Oh. you're fine. Geez Kerry, don't scare me like that again!" she explained, prodding her friend's arm playfully. "So how are you with figuring this snake stuff out?"

“What?, i-it told you that?" Ems asked and raised an eyebrow. And was it looking at her or the mice? She edged forwards a bit towards Dan and the snake, holding a hand out towards the creature, and rested it on it’s head. She was shaking a little, but kept it there. It felt cold and dry. A really weird feeling indeed. “H-hello M-m-mr Ssssnakey.” She said to it in a shaky, childish voice. She removed her hand, feeling a little more relaxed and looked at Dan. “What now? ...I’ll let you feed it the first mouse.” She told him. Maybe, just maybe, she would then try and give it the second one.

Cassandra nodded to the professor.

She had just selected the milk snake. Red snake with black and yellow stripes. She rubbed its head and watched it wrap itself around her wrist. Her eyes were on the students, making sure no one was mistreating the creatures, or stepping out of line.

The sixth year left her own snake and walked over to the Gryffindor Prefect. "Oh. you're fine. Geez Kerry, don't scare me like that again!" she explained, prodding her friend's arm playfully. "So how are you with figuring this snake stuff out?"
Kerry laughed as Amelia drew closer. "Don't scare you? This stupid snake nearly scared the stuffing out of me. I thought I killed it! Could you imagine what would have happened if I did?" Kerry shuddered just thinking of the ways she would have been punished. "This thing actually plays dead Amelia! You should check it out. It had me completely fooled." Kerry laughed. "I've never seen anything like it. What a clever little thing! I wonder what else it does?" Kerry asked aloud.

Kerry looked strangely at Amelia when she asked how Kerry was figuring all the snake things out. "What do you mean how am I figuring it out? If I knew what I was doing, I would have known that I really didn't kill this snake here." Kerry laughed some more. "Nah... the truth is I have no idea about snakes, other than the common attributes of snakes. If you were to ask me to tell one apart from another, I'm lost. That's why I'm just taking notes right now on it's appearance, behavior and what not, and then I'm going to either search the text book and hope I can find some much needed information about what kind of snake this is, or I'm going head up to the library and research a bit more about snakes and see what I can find there. We can work together if you want ... I'm just getting started anyway. Erm... I mean if you haven't found your own snake to research."

Qaz finally picked out a fairly good sized snake, about 5 feet long. The first thing that she did was grab a mouse from one of the buckets. She thought it was good manners to bring a gift when you drop by, whether human or animal.

Qaz slowly approached the snake. It was quiet at the moment and she didn’t want to spook it. She knew by the yellow and brown coloring it was a Bull Snake. It was average size for its species, but some could be over eight feet long. It was fairly common snake back home and she knew that it was non-venomous.

About 4 feet from her snake, she saw movement. The head rose and pulled back slightly and hissed. Calmly, Qaz sat down on the ground and just watched. She knew her patience would be rewarded eventually.

A really weird feeling indeed. “H-hello M-m-mr Ssssnakey.” She said to it in a shaky, childish voice. She removed her hand, feeling a little more relaxed and looked at Dan. “What now? ...I’ll let you feed it the first mouse.” She told him. Maybe, just maybe, she would then try and give it the second one.
The snake glanced between Dan and Ems for a while before reatreting back up Dans shoulders after Ems had petted the snake. Dan layed it back into its pen and took one of the Mice, porr things. " See Emsy , nothing to worry about " Dan looked at the snake for a while and whispered a few things to it before releasing the mouse into its pen, The snake contemplated the mouse before striking it , sinkking its fangs into the mouse, Dan glanced back up at Ems who looked far from calm.

While she was waiting, she tried to plot out her next moves. She slid the snake lasso part way down the back of her shirt…out of the way, but easy to grab. She was ready. After her snake had settled down, Qaz got on her hands and knees and started to crawl slowly towards her snake. This was not an easy task, as the mouse was beginning to squirm. She didn’t want to sqeeze too hard and kill it, but she didn’t want it getting away either.

When she was about a foot from the snake, she reached out with the mouse, holding it only by the tail. Keeping low to the ground, she hoped the snake would approach the mouse. She had no idea when the snakes had been fed last.

Slowly, her snake began to stretch out. Qaz stayed as still as possible. She had her gloves on, but she knew that other parts of her body weren’t as protected and in this position, she would not be able to get out of reach in a hurry. A bite would still hurt, so she wanted to avoid it if possible.

The snake was still wary. Qaz hoped it wouldn’t be too much longer. This was an awkward position and she didn’t know how long she could hold it.
