What is your relationship to reptiles?  |
|
 I for one do not like snakes. A frog is OK but when it comes to snakes I am phobia. I can not even see on the telly a snake without shaking of fear. I wonder why, I have never ever seen a snake in the real life. I have never ever met one. And yet I am scared to death thinking about meeting anyone. I am glad that I live in a area in our global world that do not have so many types. And the only one we have that are poisoned lives in the forests. During the years this fear have getting worse, as a kid I loved being in the woods and pick mushrooms and beers. I could even go in the forest without shoes. But today I rather stay away from the forest, only because of the fear meting a snake. I feel kind of sad because of that.
Well, that´s my relationship with reptiles. What about YOU????

1.  Ciniful (1151) | 10 months ago |  I have no problem with reptiles. I love snakes, and use to have one. My ex and I had a 12 foot boa, that unfortunately, he kept when we split up. My son is in the process of getting a baby cornsnake, and I'm actually really excited to play with it;)
My other son is getting a bearded dragon, and that doesn't bother me either. Lizards of any kind really don't bother me, although I'd much rather have a snake.
I've never understood why people are afraid of them, or grossed out by them. It's just social stigma. They're not slimy, or vicious, or anything that most people believe they are. They're lazy, curious and overall enchanting.

 anetteh (603) | 10 months ago | Hello and god evening. Thank you for responding.
Well I know that some do actually like to have them as pets. I can not just believe it. But do not judge anyone for doing that. My fear is about getting bitten by a snake. The pain and the bite it selfs scares me more than the snake does. But I do not really understand it my self, since I never have met anyone of those animals.
god luck with the snake | |

| Ciniful (1151) | 10 months ago | Most snakes, especially those that are kept domestically, don't bite. | |

|
| anetteh (603) | 10 months ago | Well, my phobia are to strong for me to even consider touching a snake. Sorry, It´s how I feel. | |

| 3. olyglotpay (1) | 10 months ago | It's funny, I like reptiles and other so-called exotic animals. But with reptiles I have to wonder if it's born of a sort of bravado. This isn't to say that I secretly feel afraid - but rather, I get a kick out of a snake because I like the reaction people have to me when, for example, I'm holding one. | |

|
| anetteh (603) | 10 months ago | Well, a kick of peoples fear....that´s strange. Never heard of that before. I would not feel alright with that kick....
And I for one would never touch one ever. I have to overcome this phobia first, and I have no thoughts about ever touching a snake so I put it behind me. It´s fun though to hear other peoples thinking.
Thanks for responding. | |

4.  Seraphine (322) | 10 months ago |  I think reptiles are quite fascinating. I'd love to have a corn snake and maybe some smaller lizards. But then again I do like just about all animals. The only type I got a problem with is spiders, can't even touch those no matter how small they are.

|
| anetteh (603) | 10 months ago | Well, I am a phobia of spiders to. However I have done an spider on my body just to watch in the mirror. This way I have put some of the Phobia away. I now can see the little ones. Still have problems with the big ones...but who knows, mabee one day..... | |

| anetteh (603) | 10 months ago | Yes, I feel exactly the same. They can be left alone, in their own world. Why should we bother them as long as they do not bother us. Though I hear sometimes about the snakes that bother people in their homes. You know, There is a place on this earth I never ever will explore....Australia.
They have snakes, spiders and scorpions, all poisoned animals who can kill you. I will never ever put my feet's on the ground there.
Thank you for respond.
Have a great evening | |

| anetteh (603) | 10 months ago | What a nice picture. I have no strings to lizards, as long as they stay where they should. I even like to watch TV about var an´s. But snakes, oh no, never ever. It´s really stupid I guess, since I never meet them in person.
Thank´s for the respond, and god luck with your Lizard | |
