very interesting! When I lived in the country in SC I noticed that most ppl there dont even bother to check if a snake they encounter is venomous or not, they just go kill it...It made me sad but with time I undertood a little bit why they were so afraid of snakes (was like a phobia) there used to be a lot of farming going on in that area, a little bit still is. A lot of them folks had to work the fields in their childhood and were always afraid of rattlers, copperheads etc.-there was no 911 there was no antidote so a bite by a snake could mean death! Even though there is so much information out there these days this old fear still remains....thanks God there is so much wild woods out there that the snakes can still hide and live another day. Unlike the plenty mosquitos that have no use in my eyes lol the snakes are so very useful to us. Next time you guys-maybe just drive around that snake crossing the road... :)

Yeah, too many people just kill every snake. Unfortunately, that is when a lot of people get bit too, which then adds to the fear... ;-(
Yep-I am afraid of venomous snakes, not going to lie bout that but most will avoid you if they can help it...I had a albino corn snake as a pet-that brought me a lot closer to cherish these creatures and with a little research anyone can learn to value them also! You dont have to love them, but at least see their value and good they do for us and mainly-dont go kill every one of them!
