Do you like or dislike snakes? I personally hate them! I don’t care if their poisonous or non-poisonous…I don’t care if they’re someone’s pet or living in the wild. I FREAKING HATE SNAKES!!!
I’ve been told that God has created every animal for a reason and while I semi-understand that, I don’t know what the reason is for snakes! There are other animals and “methods” out there to deal with rodent population. In my opinion, we don’t need them but I’m sure a slew of scientists will say that we do.
When I was a child I stepped on a baby copperhead and had to be hospitalized for the bite to my foot. From that day forward, I’ve hated them. When I was visiting Arizona several years ago I encountered a rattlesnake which to this day gives me nightmares. Luckily I didn’t get bit that time around.
It’s that time of year here in the northeast where snakes are out of hibernation. They have been out and on the prowl for a few months now and I hate it. So far this season my husband has found 5 snakes, 3 of which he killed. The 2 non-poisonous ones he relocated a few miles away. Let me repeat this…I do NOT want any snakes running around in my yard. Not yesterday, today or tomorrow. NEVER, EVER.
I snapped these 2 photos from a distance on zoom which blurred them but there was no freaking way I was getting close to that pissed off snake. How many of you hate them? How many of you like them? Have you ever been bitten?
Although I don’t hate snakes I would not want one in my backyard. I can find them interesting to examine at a zoo.
I don’t necessarily mind snakes if they’re in a cage or being held by someone. But I don’t want to see them just out and about. Then I get the heebie jeebies. We used to get a bunch in our yard which is why my husband was delegated to take our dog out to potty. Now, where we live, we haven’t seen them. *knocks on wood*
I really don’t like snakes at all. I remember when I was young, I saw one by my garage and screamed for my father. I was so scared!
I HATE snakes just looking at this picture gave me chills. We had one in our yard about a month ago. I had a friend and she invited me to her house one time and I made up some excuse because her son has a huge boa snake as a pet in the house and I just can’t go there. I know what you mean they have a purpose I just don’t think we need them at all. I HATE EM!!!!
Nope I don’t hate them and would never kill one that wasn’t poisonous. I would not want to have one for a pet but I think that they have their place and enjoy seeing the garter snakes. No poisonous ones in my area but I have seen some rattlesnakes on hikes in Arizona and just let them be.
No wonder you hate them! I am not a fan of snakes either. I had one slither over my bare foot once and I nearly lost it. They creep me out.
If a snake moved into my home, he could have I would be gone!!!
I have never been bitten. And I am with you….I HATE SNAKES TOO. We live in South where their hibernation cycle is small. We also live in the country. We don’t care whether they a good snakes or not…. we kill them if possible. Something else out here will eat whatever the good snakes eat. They ALL need to go.
I don’t hate snakes. I have a big respect for rattlesnakes and try not to be anywhere they are. My cat once brought me a garter snake and I was able to deal with it with only a few screams.
