If they where furry and cuddly and make cute little sounds maybe I would feel different.
Never has a snake hurt me.
Several times they have scared me.
Once as a little boy I almost stepped on a rattler that was coiled up ready to strike.Most likely I would have reached down and picked it up but Daddy seemed fit to use extreme prejudice on the snake with a garden hoe.
One close encounter with a snake we met up and I guess it was just as scared of me as I was of it.It ran one way and me the other.
Hunting one fall with Daddy,leaned up against a tree,slithering over the brown golden orange leaves I seen a big snake headed straight for us.
Daddy I see a snake.
He never seen it,he out run me back to the car,by the way he had a gun leaving his little boy to catch up with him.
Aunt Lema was bit by a rattler picking black berries and almost died.
Maybe that fear of snakes is inherited.
I think facing a bear would be more pleasant than facing a snake.
Bears are at least furry and cuddly.
