HATERS ON SNAKES !

I really hate snake haters. Friday at work a nurse comes down with a patient. She sees my wall of snake photos, and proceeds to tell her coworker about how she had to kill a rattlesnake out in the pasture. I was sitting at my desk with my fingers in my ears, but I could still hear her. She went on to talk about another snake she killed at the pool. The coworker says "Another rattler?" "No, it was just a watersnake." At that point I left and went and sat in the reading room till they were gone. I could use a lot of profanity to describe how I feel about people like that, but this isn't the place for that.

My boss has a black racer hanging around his house. So far he's chased it away twice. His wife wants him to kill it. He says the snake doesn't get any more chances. After trying to reason with him (wife trumps snake) I tell him "If you _do_ kill it, I don't want to know. It will make me hate you. I don't want to work with someone I hate for the next 10 years, so just don't tell me. I am not kidding."
 
I brought my snake to school (very last day of school) and I was stunned how many people where scared of a tiny skinny baby corn snake.. but some people overcame there fears.. and I was pleased to educate them on how corn snakes don't bite...and they are really nice animals to live with.. I am glad to say some people now want a corn. Some teachers almost peed themselves.. which i don't know why....:eek: but i made everyone atleast touch it.. and made sure they knew ..he wouldn't bite...


Its funny though once you get one corn snake.....you want.. another!! haha

Snakes are so cool and i would have to say...cats and dogs are way more viscous than snakes.. they can bite...scratch.. snakes... pfft if they bite you just bleed a baby bit and it doesn't even hurt.. not that i have had experience..

:)

Snakes= <3

it still amazes me though how they are all stomach though!!
 
Whenever I tell people I own snakes I usualy get a wide eyed stare that loudly says "Why?!?" with a hint of disgust. I quickly add that they're not venomous and people calm down a bit, but they usually freak out more when I tell them about the tarantula and cockroaches. A lot of people just can't fathom owning something that isn't a cat or dog.
 
Well am still a teen and I have gotten pets because I want one that I like and my family won't try to make theirs because they like it so much. I got a cat a few years ago and that lasted as mine for all of 2 seconds. When I got the snake though only my little brother wanted to see it and my mom eventually. My dad hates it and i love it. It is a good pet that can be all mine. Also some of you said you got your first corn to overcome your fear but what would you have done if you didn't like it. Seems like a big risk for a pet you didn't want at first. Well it worked out good though didn't.

I'm not afraid of snakes, and never have been, but when I see the stories about people getting a snake to overcome their fear it makes perfect sense to me. I think that, being fearful of snakes to begin with, these people probably put a LOT of time and effort into their decision, more so then the average snake owner who walks by one in the pet store and thinks "Hey, that's cool!" and buys one. Not that there is anything wrong with that! I just think the people with a fear of snakes had to be particularly committed to their decision since it wasn't something they'd normally do.
 
Well I applaud them because if i was scared of snakes I don't think I would have had the guts to buy one as a pet.
 
I also got my baby corn to help me get over my fear abit, im still abit nervous at handling her, but admire her everyday and get so exited to just take her out, and mine is quite feisty hehe, my girlfriend of 3years doesnt wana know anything of it, but adds that it is my house and she wont stop me getting something i want, aslong as she doesnt have to touch it or be in the room when i take it out, she just fears snakes in general and are not intrested in getting over her fear and i respect that.

I agree. I truly admire anyone who would be so proactive in getting over their fear! I have a spider phobia. I know it's illogical. But I'm not getting a tarantula to get over it.... ;)
