Part of me wishes that the snake would get the recognition that it deserves this year, but I'm just getting my hopes up over that I guess. Though it would be nice to see some conservation efforts for endangered (some of which are critically endangered)  snakes like there were for the tigers a few years back in their year. I'd be happy with just some one making a point of 'hey snakes aren't satan spawn, don't hate them for stupid reasons', but I guess that's too much to ask. /end bitter rant.
