Not scared, but equal parts of curious & cautious. The first snake I was given was a small (28") desert native, & while I had no concerns when I was awake, for
roughly the first 2 weeks that I had him, at night I had weird dreams about the snake...a wrinkle in my blanket was [in my dream-mind] the snake that had gotten
loose & was coming after me.After that, I had no more negative dreams about snakes. I firmly believe that was all the subconscious baloney from "society"-
from stuff my grandmother said (she hated snakes), from scary movies watched as a kid & from silly things others had said about snakes. If any snakes come into
my dreams now, it's either positive or about those who abuse them. I'm sure glad to be rid of the nonsense...now to end the abuses.
BTW, I was an adult when I got into snakes: as a kid, I played in the woods a lot, catching frogs & toads (then releasing them) but snakes were far & few, & way
too fast...not an option. Always fascinated by all kinds of animals, but couldn't have many pets as a kid...made up for it later though!
