I got very warm as I had quite a bit of clothing on and Karl said the snake would love that and for that reason he did not move quickly around me but just wanted to snuggle in!!

Your close up macro, I can even see the detail on the feathers! Your scorpion shot looks so big that I thought it was a lobster at first. And your snake photos so close up, such detail. I am afraid of snakes, but could maybe hold one under controlled conditions. But anyway, you are brave.
