I hope she understands that all snakes don't have the intention to kill people.
Last week I told someone, that I sort of just met, that I have three pythons. He said, "Dude, those can kill you! They are poisonous and have fangs but they take out the poison." My reply was, "No, they are not poisonous, they use constriction to kill their prey, not venom." And he replies saying, "No?" (or something like that) and I reply saying, "Dude, I have three pythons, I'm pretty sure they don't use venom."
People are so weird with snakes, a few of my friends won't even go anywhere near my snakes. I just think it's silly. My grandpa, whose deathly afraid of snakes, is going to the reptile expo with my mom and I (he wants to get me a reptile for my birthday), which is extremely surprising. I better tell him that there WILL be snakes and other reptiles outside of enclosures, just because I don't want him getting freaked out and running away. He REALLY doesn't like snakes, he doesn't even like getting close to mine if I have them out. If they're in an enclosure, it's fine with him.
