My grandmother is so afraid of snakes. When my uncle wanted a snake as a pet she told him no. But his senior year she finally told him yes. She did some research and she was told that the Ball Python made the best pet of all the snakes. So he kept that snake until he graduated high school and joined the army. She gave the snake to a loving home who had other snakes and they all had bedrooms of their own. They offered to buy him but all she wanted was a promise that they would love him and take good care of him. She is still afraid of snakes!
I once held a boa constrictor! It was bigger than me

Snakes are fascinating to watch and the colors on some are amazing, I have a deep respect for them but if I see one I go the other direction. My sister has 3 and I do enjoy watching them eat, how their jaws open and you can see the food go through their body is very cool.
I’ve never seen such a calm-looking snake and I enjoyed learning about how they eat.

It’s funny that so many inventions come from ‘accidents’ – like throwing the rubber (or tripping and dropping it in) the fire, and learning that it changed and improved the chemical
Properties of the rubber
We love Jeffery the ball python 🩷 🐍
We live in the country and see snakes too frequently in our yard. I do not like snakes.
The invention of rubber was intriguing. Like how it’s coming from a Sap is pretty cool. Loved this episode many interesting facts specially about the creepy crawlers.
Snakes are fascinating, but they have always scared me even the tiniest garden snakes.
I have attended a camp at a reptile zoo and learned a lot about snakes. They aren’t scary or evil like some think.

I was fooled from looking at the spoon. It loots like a normal spoon, but it is actually gallium. It is so cool to see that melting.
Interesting, but not a big fan of snakes
why do snakes hiss
wow I love DrB and my favorite snake is a king snake and a cobra
I think that snakes are fascinating but I am scared of them because I remember hiking up a mountain and there was a rattlesnake and it started making that rattle sound so we started running from the top of the mountain to the bottom to the truck.
Imagine we were in a world where there were no snakes, I can’t imagine because snakes help the environment, if we didn’t have snakes our environment would be likely endangered. To make the environment equal or at peace, we must have equal predators and prey if one is out of balanced, it would mess up the whole scale. Which is why I may not like snakes, but I appreciate for what they do.
I love snakes they are really cool reptiles.
No Snakes for me haha or spiders
Snakes are one of my worst fears, but this video made me feel very intrigued on how interesting snakes really are!
