Well some can eat you and others can kill you but to be scared of a snake oin the other side of the glass is just wimpy.

But we all have our fears.

Mine is the fear of running out of beer!

Back in the mid 80's I went over to a friend from work house for some "extra curricular activities". Later that night i asked to use the bathroom. So im sitting there minding my own business when there's a knock on the door. I answer yes. His response was "Don't panic he wont hurt you. I hope your not afraid of snakes but my snake likes to coil around the toilet." To horror I look down to find a 6 to 8' boa wrapped around the bowl. Talk about scaring the crap out of someone.

Because they have no arms? Funny how something unarmed, even when you are armed, can be so scary.

I like snakes from a distance and on TV. I think it's the quick-strike ability, the aforementioned lack of distinguishing which are poisonous and which aren't, and the fact that they have those empty eyes and no expressions. It's like you have no idea what they're thinking, are they going to strike me or are they totally cool right now?

Even the non-venomous ones can cause a nasty bite and then there's the potential for infection, too.

I'm fearful of surprise snakes. Pet snakes are cool. If I ask "does it bite?" and you say "no".... and youre the type of person I trust not to lie to me... I'll even handle it. If Im confronted by a snake and wasnt aware that I would be, I will shriek like a 10year old girl at a Justin Bieber concert.

Lizards, on the other hand, would have to be actually attacking me for me to fear them. Hey buddy, how's your day goin? Just soakin in some rays huh?

You know those little anoles? The minature chameleon like lizards that live in the south? One of those bit me once.
