Welcome and I'm in your same possition, my best friend is deathly afraid of snakes, and for 2 reason... There posionous, and they bite. I try to tell her that there are a lot of snakes that are not posionous and they don't bite(normaly

) but she just doesn't listen and now she won't come over to my house anymore and it's been really annoying, to many people hate snakes just because you can die from them.... well people die from lightning to but people still go out in a lightning storm!
