Are you afraid of snakes?

im not realy scared of them however i do respect them and leave them alone

I am terrified of snakes. I think it started when I was about two or three. I was on my grandparents farm and was playing out side. I saw this very pretty thing coming towards me and I reached out to pet it when all of a sudden there was this horrible loud noise and I was being picked up and my grandfather was yelling is she alright. When I was older my aunt told me this story. I remember the day even though I was very young. Weather it was the noise or the snake its self to this day I am terrified of snakes.

I have always been afraid of snakes. When I was little, any time I saw one on tv, I had nightmares.

Yes, I am afraid.. Afraid for it to touch it! And to see the sight of it! It gives me the shivers!

Nah, I'm not scared of snakes. They intrigue me though... But I'd be wary of my safety if it were the biting type. I like the tame, constricting types...

A friend of mine had a snake and I wasn't afraid of it so to speak. I just didnt want to see it eat anything... eewww. But I think certain snakes are down right beautiful. I was watching an episode of Miami Ink where a woman wanted a tattoo of her snake. It was a beautiful snake. The snake was orange, yellow, white and a little red. I'm not sure what kind of snake but it was a very pretty one. And the tattoo was beautiful too. As long as I don't meet a snake in the jungle or dessert (which would be hard since I don't go to either place) I would have to safely say I'm not bothered by them. Cockroaches however terrify me. I don't know why but I don't like them, they are icky!! I will run screaming if I see one.

likewise here anything that moves and can harm us im scared to it...i guess its the first reaction when you seen some snakes...but if you know that its harmless ..i mean no deadly venom then atleast we or you can relax a bit...its the absence of knowledge that make me scared on a particular animal especially snakes..

Snakes are one of the most exotic creatures on Earth. They are strange in their own way. And beautiful too. They have their own grace and beauty about them. I love snakes and I'm not a bit scared of them because they won't hurt me as long as I'm not posing a danger to them. So its completely pointless to be scared of them. bourne

I dont think so, but Iv never actually seen a snake up close before Iv only seen them on TV but I think if I did see one I wouldn't be afraid unless it was one of those poisonous snakes but if it wasn't poisonous I dont think I would be frightened of it.

One of the animals that i don't like and i scared is the snake.Hearing the name of snake makes my hair standing up, i feel scared of it. I remember when i was a child, i saw a snake inside the house and that makes me cna't sleep and i had a fever because of fear. But my auncle he likes touching them and catching the small snakes and make it as his pet. I still think they are not safe. Happy mylotting.

it's ok for me to see a snake within a cage, but if it's not... i just dont know what am i gonna do... :)

loool im not that freaky to a snake, coz sometime there r beautiful snakes out there..but i do hate cocroach lol. i feel ewwwwww when they're around me, even if its much smaller than me n cant harm me lol. so, im ok with snake but not ok with cocroach n their relatives lmao.

yes im afraid of snakes thats it my fear factor.

I wouldn't consider myself fearful of snakes, but I always have this thing with not wanting to touch them. Sure, if one crawled on me out of nowhere and I didn't now what it was I would freak out; however, I would never feel the need t oget one. I want a cuddly pet I can hug... namely a cat... I dunno, I like fur better then scales.

Well, I don't like snakes at all, and I'm also afraid of them. I just don't like cold-blooded animals, they make me feel uncomfortable. I don't think I'll touch a snake even though it's kept in the cage.

i like all animals, regardless of the breed. i have had the chance of touching snakes and i'd say it's not like what people described at all. many told me that snakes are slimy and cold to touch. however, my experience told me that the snake feels exactly like a handbag made of snakeskin. it's smooth, cool and dry to touch. i used to want to keep a snake, but it's not allowed in my country. cheers

Snakes yikeeeeeeeee, can't stand those creepy crawlers. I recall as a kind one time at te zoo my uncle had hook his fingers in the snake cage and was so occupied watching the other snakes carwling around on the tree inside, he never saw the snake that was on the ground inching up towards his fingers....that was scary

Hi Maroseqf, you let me remember, in Penang, there is a famous temple called "Snake Temple", long time ago, snakes were everywhere in this temple, but now only few snake on the trees, some people said because of a lot of factory built around this temple, so a lot of snakes run away. When I was small, I don't like to go this temple, when the adult go inside, I just step at outside. I am too afraid of snakes, but now because the snakes were so few, I walk into this temple to take a look the snakes been protected.

I'm very afraid of the snakes. when see it, I may shout out and run away! what a scary thing the snake is!

I'm not a fan of snakes. My mother has a serious phobia of snakes, she is really frightened - she can't even look at pictures of them in magazines without feel incredibly uncomfortable. I am not massively scared of them but I guess if I saw one in real life I'd be pretty freaked out!
