    For thousands of years, snakes have been used in art, literature, religious texts and more. From Adam and Eve's temptation in the Garden of Eden to Medusa with her hair of snakes that turned anyone who looked at her into stone, it might not be a shocker that these slithering creatures tend to frighten many who come across them.

My time at 11Alive News came to an end earlier this month as I head into a new chapter in my career. I had 2 different roles at the station and grew tremendously. But the best part was the amazing journalists I worked with. Forever grateful for everyone I met in Atlanta! https://t.co/sfIafRDU4n
