No offense to anyone, but I HATE snakes! They are so scary and creepy and slithery and worst of all.............POISONOUS!! I know not all snakes are poisonous, but even the one's that aren't are so scary and creepy. I think I'm even more afraid of a snake than a lion! LOL! At least lions are cute! I don't think a snakes an animal to be kept as a pet, but of course that's only my opinion. Personally I don't know anyone who has a snake as a pet. Forget having a snake in the house, I would die knowing there was a snake a mile away from me! Lut, looks like we both have snake-o-phobia!
