Definitely. Snakes are misunderstood, and when most people talk about them they say negative things which passes on from person to person, creating fear in more and more people. Though, if they were told positive things about snakes from a professional, they may just understand snakes. I'm not a professional, but it's very hard to try to get my grandparents in thinking positive things about snakes but all I hear them say is, "One day your snakes are going to get really big and if you try sleeping with them they will try to wrap around your neck and constrict you." and they also say, "Why don't you like a different pet like a dog or a cat??" I just ignore them.
