I once did a presentation on handling snakes in my school and I made a good effort to explain body language and even explained that snakes are afraid and even terrified of us, they are not aggressive or mean they are simply defending themselves from a possible predator. I used the example of, "Imagine if you were just a head with a long body without any way to defend yourself than with your teeth, and a giant scary thing picked you up and started doing whatever it wanted with you. You would panic and be scared and because you have no arms or legs to kick or claw, and you would probably yell (hiss) and bite!"
I would say it's a good thing for both snake owners and every other person who doesn't already know and is afraid or mean to snakes.
