its because of disney.

Ok, well see some people think they hate snake s b/c they let their fear for them get in the way of actually trying to like them, if they actually trie it would be different, now some people really do hate them and usually it is b/c of something they have seen or had happened to them by or around a snake, though this isnt fair to a snake it also would not be fair to make someone who is TRULY scared hold a snake, I LOVE them, I was raised around them since the age of two and have loved them every since, I have a Blood Red Corn Snake now and her name is Valentine, I love her so much, but off that, so hope this helped with ur question, bye

Snakes are wonderful animals; beautiful to look at, efficient vermin killers, silent, peaceful, and the personification of strength & grace. Even venomous snakes, when viewed in the proper context, are wonderful and fascinating animals. They do not know they're venomous so they can't be blamed for having venom, it's just a tool they use for catching prey. Venomous snakes aren't out to "get" anyone but their food. Given the opportunity almost all snakes, venomous or not, will make every effort to avoid contact with humans - or anything larger than prey.
I've frequently seen snakes "DOR", which is a reptile enthusiast's shorthand for "Dead On Road". To even a slightly trained eye, it's often clear they were run over on purpose, even if the snake is completely harmless and totally benificial to everyone.
Why do people hate them? Lack of education, lack of understanding, lack of tolerance, lack of empathy, lack of respect. If people would take the time to learn about them and understand their unique niche in Mother Nature's plan, there would be more snakes, fewer rats & mice invading our homes & food supplies, and happier people.
Keep an open mind and educate people whenever you can, that's all you can do!

I am fascinated by the reptile world. A few months back I went to a snake farm and learnt heaps about them. They really are very interesting and beautiful creatures IMO. However, many people are attracted to the 'fluffy' kind of animals and not that I am dissing that (I have a cat myself) but ALL animals should be respected, not hated. What did they ever do to you?

I think people hate snakes because that's what they've been educated to do. Kids don't hate snakes. Its only when they get older that they get phobias and dislikes from parents, friends, the media etc.
The funny thing is - the same people that are terrified of snakes are terrified of rats and mice. In certain parts of the world if it wasn't for the snakes they would be overrun with rodents. No matter how ugly, mean and venemous or cute, furry and cuddly, all animals have been put here for a purpose and, with a very finely balanced eco-system, to thrive ourselves we need to let them thrive too.

I love snakes, I have 2. Some can be really pretty. But some snakes are poisonous/venomous so humans kill as a defence. Us as humans always spoil animals territory unfortunately. Snakes bite as a defence, so you should keep far away if you do not know the type.
Many people think they are slimey but are not.

I personally like snakes. A lot of people don't like them because
#1 they don't have legs or fur
#2 all the cartoons like "The jungle book" set a bad example of snakes to little kids
#3 they stare at you without blinking. The reason for that is because they don't have eyelids!
Hope this helps! A friend, Rachee

people who know nothing about snakes think that all snakes are venemous, and they are going to bite you, or eat you. This isnt true with most snakes. Especially corn snakes. They are not really a threat to humans, unless its like a python or a rattlesnake

Snakes are tolerable, when I was a child I loved all such animals and I picked them up in a forest, etc. But in my country we don't have poisonous snakes. That also concerns spiders - they are not dangerous. BUT - I hate them, I'm afraid of them and I can't stand them.......
