Snakes really are amazing creatures. The fear of snakes is not actually an instinctual fear but is actually a fear people acquire over time by negative experience or by being taught about their danger. Snakes should be respected and loved.

I had no idea that the behavior of a snake is passed down from one generation to another or that they are called ball pythons due to their ability to curl up into a ball. I want a snake so I will let my mom know that you said that Ball Python’s make really good pets. ; ) I think it super neat that the little holes in their lips sense infrared. Knowing the difference between yellow, white or black in the middle is important, so thank for telling us.
