Just wonder after reading a study about snake phobia being innate and present in small children.

Nah, he might seem a little crazy at times, but I bet he's an alright guy.

Depends on how big the snake is. A garter snake is cute, but a king snake borders on scary.

Great creatures, and make good friends. I thought it was just because I was warm, but out in the field, once you introduce yourself, let them see you mean no harm, you will see them again.

I always loved watching snakes in the terrarium and also where not afraid of the little ones, I saw on holidays, so I guess no is a good answer.

He's a mean little sonuva, though. I have bites all over my hands from him...but I still love him to bits. :heart:

I love snakes.

As many above have said, I like snakes too.

I've seen some cool ones around here in the wild:

The most beautiful, a Red-bellied black snake I saw curled around the base of a tree; the colouring is amazing
A few Eastern brown snakes
A Tiger snake

No. I wouldn't handle a venomous snake, but I'm not afraid of them.

No, I've never been scared of snakes. I love snakes - I have my own right here in my room, and he's adorable and I love him to death. I'll have to get a photo of him soon.

I love snakes so much and I've never been scared of them. I once held a boa constrictor and I would love to have one as a pet one day.

I'm not afraid or disgusted by snakes, but I don't find them to be particularly fascinating or fit as a pet for me either.
