That's too bad (about your friends that grew up on farms) because around here many I've talked to seem to realize the value of snakes as far as controlling rodents on
their farms. Many tell me that the only snakes they object to are the venomous ones. Lots of people are freaked about spiders, & tarantulas are "spiders on steroids",
lol...my mom was always phobic about spiders, but I've kept a golden huntsman as well as a huge female tarantula before. I like snakes way better, but all life forms
are interesting & have value.
