also I know 5 guys who own snakes and 3 girls who own them. I know 6 or 7 girls who are afraid of snakes and 10 who have always wanted to own them. i know 5 or 6 males who are absolutely freaked by them 20 that are like "if you're holding it I'm cool, otherwise it's dead" and a dozen who want to own them.

Personally I think it all balances out to about even. Which would make it a cross gender deviation from the societal norm.
