I Am Not Afraid of Snakes

I was in the frontside of my house when I saw a green mamba snake. I didnt know how i picked it up and put it inside a round box with a thin cover for where the snake tried to escape. I didnt know how the snake pushed its way out, but...

i've never been afraid of domesticated snakes. i love the silky smooth feeling of their scales. i also especially like holding the bigger ones, like pythons and boas. i like their weight, and feeling them twine around me.

But not anymore. I even own a snake. She's a beautiful ball python that sleeps at the foot of my bed. I let her climb all over me and sometimes I even walk around the house with her around my arm or neck. My sister is uneasy around her...

I hae ne'r had a fear o snakes even camping in areas where they are kent tae be found. And they hae ne'r bothered me a bit. Could it be luck, or an understanding tha I am nae afraid so they instinctively leave me in peace? Tha I dinnae...

When I was in first grade, there was a Nature exhibition where some zoologists brought in some wild critters for the classes to look at. Each group consisted of only one or two classes; so that the animals wouldn't get scared. Well...

Living in South Africa snakes are very common. You do what you can to give them time to move away from you and make a lot of noise when walking through the bush etc. I have had many face to face encounters with venomous snakes in the...

Am I afraid of snakes? No. Am I afraid of poison? Yes.

I always liked handling pets, and never was scared of snakes I encountered outside. That common fear of snakes that people have, I've never had that.

I live in the country, and I work outside. As a result, I often come across snakes...

In the summer, when I'm out in the yard, I often see snakes. Sometimes I'm even able to catch them. Why do I bother? Because my youngest daughter is fascinated by them. I'm not the least bit afraid of them, but I bother to catch...

and I intend to bred them. I keep Columbian boas.
 
They are beautiful fascinating animals that never fail to make me happy. Each one's pattern is as unique as our fingerprints.

I've never been one to fear snakes. When I was younger, my mom signed me up for a science class which involved us being outside and being with nature... the teacher was a prick, but the class itself was actually pretty damn cool. He...

Don't come across too many in this country!   I have handled a friend's pet snake....I can't remember what species it was but it didn't try to eat me, for which I am grateful. : )

A little girl age six, playing with a little brown puppy dog, on the side of a dirt road a three miles off what was then the main road. Playing hiding seek and the puppy loved to find her. The girl would run a head in tall grass...

I don't want to be anywhere near a poisonous snake.  Otherwise, I love snakes.  I want to have a pet snake, but I've heard they're a lot of work, and i'm too lazy right now, lol.

My ex husband and I were going to pick up our son. While walking to the school a snake slithered across the street in front of us. I pointed this out to my ex who proceeded to jump back and yell. *giggling*

I never have been, nor probably never will be. My brother is terrified of them though. He can't stand going to a reptile zoo because he knows they'll be there.

I grew up having snakes as pets.  When I would visit my dad he'd let me hold Shena all the time.  She was so beautiful and I was deeply fascinated by her scales and most of all her shedding.  I thought it was the coolest...
