Babies and snakes

[jjmitchell]

Yes exactly, there are a lot more dangerous animals ppl keep like dogs or whatever that cause more harm or deaths than snakes. I think over the past decades, snakes have gotten a bad name, for whatever reason. I handle all my snakes on a regular basis, Iv only been bit 1 time, and that was from my jcp when he was super small, and I laughed at it. I think ppl get scared because they constrict, which is just how they operate.

To be honest the fear of snakes for most people run much deeper than a fear of being constricted..... snakes have been villanized since biblical times.... The first thing you learn about in any childrens bible classes is how the devil took the form of a serpent and caused the fall of man kind. Snakes have always been used as a sighn of evil. It is a real and deep seated fear that people have along with the fact that most people are terrified of what they dont know or understand, and there are few animals that are as misunderstood, couple that with all of the myths and misconceptions along with the fact most people cant identify a venomous animal from a non venomous animal native to their area. It is a very real fear that just seems silly to us because we have went above and beyond to learn the truth.
