Doing Snake Presentation at School

[Catherine]

Hello. I was wanting to do a presentation at my middle school on the psychology behind why people are afraid of snakes and what they misinterpret them for. So I was curious how I should go over why people think they'll "kill" you, they'll "bite" you, which I'll mention that anything with a mouth bites. For the killing part, I was wondering if I should include the fact that venomous snakes are more than likely to kill you if you come across one and pissed it off so much that instead of fleeing it attacks. And many people think they're slimy, I'm bring my 3 foot ball python to school with me to let people touch her, but not hold her. Do you think I'm covered? Or should I add something else?
