that if most of the people who meet them actually saw how they pounce on their (dead) prey at home, they'd probably never get near them, LOL.

I like to explain to people how snakes are deaf, near-sighted & actually quite shy & vulnerable. That they have a great sense of smell (they recognize us with)
and also know by how we touch & hold them that we aren't predators attacking them. And, that snakes do learn & remember our gentle treatment, and we are
NOT on their "menu" (they're fussy eaters, unless you're talking about giant snakes). You'd be surprised at how little the average person knows about real snakes-
it's quite a relief to find out that snakes are fussy eaters, lol.

Hmm, are there any threads you can point me to??????
