    After a few snake bites I no longer fear them, but I avoid them. However crocodilians scare the crap out of me. Most lizards (beardeds, uromastyx, iguanas, tegus, monitors) will do some damage too. I fear our feeder rats far more than I fear our largest carpet pythons too. I even spent some time in the hospital for a rat bite. Give me a snake bite any day!

    Re: why you shouldnt care about being bit by a snake

    that is definitly true, i got bit by a rat when i was 12-13, and since then i havent touched one except to feed my snake lol, i did however hold a mouse for the first time since then a couple weeks ago, helped me get over my fear of rodents a little

    i asked the guy if i could post the pics here, and im waiting for an answer now, it really wasnt all that bad at all for a gator, but compared to a snake bite...

    Just a regular American alligator. I'm not all that fancied much by him, as I grew up in Florida and I had a few living in my backyard, but my husband likes him. Whatever makes him happy right? Lol
