What do you make of snake-phobic people?

if they haven't had something 'snake related' traumatic experience happen to them, or they geniunely have a phobia of them i don't mind, but if they're are like 'eww snakes' i find it...kind of annoying i guess?

I'm very excited! Thanks to all of you, I've fed Dakota 3 of the teeny mice we had over the last 4 days. He ate two tonight without a problem and already I feel better about things. I'm guessing in the next couple of days, he'll be more content. In fact, this morning, when washing up and changing his water, he didn't come anywhere near me. He seems much less tense! This weekend, I'll tackle the habitat cleaning task. Once I get through that, I think I'll be all set. Also, I ordered better sized mice off line! I'm very happy to be serving him in a better way. Maybe someday I'll actually touch him...if he lets me, of course. Thanks again! :)

i would have to say that most people's fear of snakes are based on ignorance. When i got my first snake, a 22" BP, my mom asked me if it could escape its cage and strangle it in her sleep, and my mom is an intelligent woman. Also, i was talking to a girl and when i told her i had a snake, she asked how much it hurt when they stung you with thei tongue. So its definitely ignorance that causes maybe 70% of the fear, while the other 30% is a combo of upbringing, experience, and just plain phobia.
