Hello My cousin was just sharing how they visited a museum and how they had a wonderful time over there. Most of us fear snakes especially me and I'm very afraid of even touching them, it is very scary but shockingly, my cousin was telling me that she warped the snake around her neck also under the care of the museum guide who helped her. she told me that she was terrified and scared and screamed a lot as the snake crawled around her. Hopefully that was not me because I could have jumped back to the car. what about you guys have you ever touched or learned about snakes?

I have held snakes from a reptile park in my arms and shoulders. This was under the watchful eyes of the snake keeper - they were non poisonous pythons.

@thebos I wasn't afraid I instead took a piece of wood near me and beat them until their heads were crushed.

I've held two snakes in my lifetime. One was a huge python or boa constrictor (I don't remember which it was). It took about six of us to hold it.

I just do not care for snakes. They are too sneaky, and they show up unexpectedly and scare me.

When was a kid I used to play with wild baby snakes. Then when I became a mom and in one of our trips which I posted here many many years ago, I had a python wrapped around my neck.

Yes when one of my sons was in boy scouts a man brought a bunch of snakes. They were about nine feet long. He let them out of their bags and they just laid there. So every one felt them. A snake is weird to touch.
