Not afraid of snakes. They had this place called "Snakes Alive" at the State Fair. Held a 8' long, 30lb boa, aptly named my name, lol. My mom claims I threw a garden snake on her lap when I was really little. I don't recall that.

I dunno, they just don't bother me at all. Spiders, yes. Sharks, yes. Snakes, no.

Besides, remember Steve Irwin (R.I.P. Steve), he picked up snakes all day long and showed you not to be afraid of them.

I go fishing all the time and come upon snakes. They don't bother me. I was standing 2 feet from one while she was giving birth. They won't bother you if you don't bother them.

Ummmm... scared to death of them. Never have been but almost been bitten by two rattlesnakes and a copperhead. I kicked the one rattlesnake while hiking on a moonlit night with no flashlight. It was kinda cool that night so luckily he ended up down the small gap I was hopping over when I kicked him before he got all pissed and started rattling. Nothing against snakes... I have even held a few. Not without a litle fear in my gut. Just too many close calls to like them thats all.

Well Gilly, it takes about 15 minutes to get to the outhouse. It's a long and winding trail.

I walk to work. It's uphill both directions...so it's a challenge here in the mountains of Indiana. Fortunately, no bears, kangroos or lions, though.

Everyone has a wood burning stove...but you get used to it. I'll tell you more later, but I've got to go feed the chickens and milk the cows.

May churn some butter later...not sure?

~~~Hi Gilly,

Rattlesnakes are common where I live, but I've seen plenty of white people almost wet themselves when they come upon onerolling on the floor laughing

I've had several occasions with rattlers, pulling weeds in the flowerbed and felt something course against my fingertips...yup a rattler.
One bite my dog so I got a shovel and taught that snake a lesson. Oh, and the one that tried to come in my front door when I opened it (I didn't let him in).

They don't scare me but I respect them.

I've had one incident with a rattler....and a baby one at that!! I was about 18 & had come out to the garage & there it was. Grabbed a push broom, pressed the button for the garage door opener and started sweeping the snake out of the garage, down the street, and to the canyon (basically our back yard). Here at my house I've come across garter snakes while I've been doing yardwork. They don't bother me at all, just pick em up and move em to where I'm not working. Now my mom....that's a different story... rolling on the floor laughing She is scared to death of snakes. I'm amazed I'm her daughter....lol

Absolutely terrified of snakes. I do a lot of hiking and spend a lot of time outdoors in the unpopulated parts of the countryside. And I'm about as white as they come. I come upon them way too often and I hate it.

By the way, my favorite hiking partner is a 6'4" ,235 lb black man. When we come upon a snake of any kind he squeals and hollars like my grand daughter and runs the other way. It's always an effort to get him back on track.
Where did the idea that black people aren't afraid of snakes come from?
dunno

I love snakes.

I haven´tz any problems with them, or with rats, mouses or insects.

ok, i don´t like spiders very much. but i don´t run screaming away when i see one.
