Fortunately, kids are generally much more open-minded than adults. It seems they're not as rooted in the belief that snakes are evil. I love showing off my snakes and other animals to little kids. The looks on their faces are priceless.
I always wanted to show my snake off to a really religious, by-the-book, Sunday Mass Catholic. I wonder if they'd respect that it's "one of God's creatures" or think it's the spawn of Satan....I think it'd be interesting.
Other than the Catholic part, I'm about as Bible thumping as you can get. You do realize we are all different, not all Christains are snake haters.
