When I was a kid, I was always afraid of walking under trees b/c I thought that snakes would fall down on top of my head. My mom told me that I should not worry b/c snakes in Texas could not climb trees, only snakes in Africa. I believed this until I was 16 and tried to explain it to a friend of mine. Needless to say, I am now aware that all snakes can climb trees!
