The reptile house at London Zoo may be a wonderful place, but I can never enter it without being reminded of the horrifying events that occurred at Stoke Moran.  Indeed, unless pressed, I prefer not to enter the house and I am not alone in this, for I have known even Holmes make his excuses when a visit is suggested.

Ahaha, I love that even Holmes develops a little ophidiophobia after the events of the Speckled Band--and you've captured Watson's voice perfectly here.

Thank you. I was struck by Watson's comment that Holmes' face was deadly pale and filled with horror and loathing.

Maybe he's afraid that Harry Potter might show up...?

Thank you. I really dislike snakes and avoid going into reptile houses if I can.
