I neither like nor dislike big snakes.

I don't one way or the other regarding size, it is how lethal the snake is that concerns me.

The same reason I don't like little snakes.

They have big teeth. Which they bite with.

I like them. I'd love to have a pet python. I don't know why. Maybe because I think it would be impressive to answer the door with a large snake around my neck.

I don't really care much about snakes, even if Samuel Jackson is somehow involved.

I like them. I like the way they live: moving and feeding et cetera with just this one part of a body.

They could kill me?

I don't like any kinds of snakes.

There is no why. It's an emotional reaction, not a rational thing.

I like snakes. No reason why really I just think they look strong and I like the way they get around and wind around things.

I think snakes are cool big or small. I don't know why I just do.

I hate all snakes. My Teacher had a Boa Constrictor, and it was GROSS!

I have no feelings either way about big snakes. I have no experience with them.

I've never been fond of reptiles. I like turtles, and frogs. Snakes are a big no-no to me.

Don't like any snakes large or small.

I like all snakes. I used to be a collector of snakes for a hobby years ago. I've had a couple large pythons, many boas, and tons of other types. Poisonous and non poisonous ones.

If you want one you can put around your neck, you want a boa not a python. A python gets to big to do that with.

Mostly dislike because they are pretty creepy.
We have smaller ones around here. I don't have a huge fear of them, but they're kinda creepy. I would think big ones are worse.

Don't like any snakes. Why? You ahve to ask?

I'm pretty much indifferent to snakes, big or small. I suppose some of them are attractive to look at if they have interesting markings and colouration. Like those Milk Snakes:

I think that some animals should be left alone & a snakes fall into that category. I don't mind handling them but I do believe they mind us handling them.

Snakes taste great! 'Though not repulsed by them, I'm not into them as pets.

I like big snakes because they are awesome creatures. Incredibly efficient. I used to have two red tail boa constrictors. It was amazing to watch my larger one swallow a huge rat whole. Feed them once or twice a month... they are easy pets to take care of, as long as you have a proper tank to keep them in and a heat source. Very mellow creatures.

I wish there were options to this one with an added explanation to share the 'why'. I am interested in how many of us like snakes.

> I don't mind handling them but I do believe
> they mind us handling them.

Like all animals, it depends on their personal experience. Most large constrictor snakes in this country have been handled almost since birth, and don't really care if they are handled, as long as the handler respects them. Some even like to be handled because we are a source of warmth. The small, wild snakes around my place don't like to be picked up because they are afraid.... they don't try to bite, they just crap on you.

Why was it gross? Did you ever handle it? Most people are under the preconceived notion that snakes are slimy... they aren't. They are smooth, and some are even almost soft.

I was 10 years old when this teacher had the snake, and he fed it dead chicks, and seeing it swallow it whole gave me the jitters. I handled a snake, which was a python, about 5 years ago at my boss's shop, and I know how they feel. I am just not a big fan for snakes.

Now why would a teacher feed a snake in front of his students? That is stupid. It only serves to revolt kids who don't quite know yet that all beings have to eat, and sometimes they eat other beings. I don't have a problem with people like you who have actually been around a snake and handled one and still decide that snakes aren't for them. I'm not a big fan of dogs. But people who are afraid of snakes for no reason or go around killing them simply because of some biblical story need to get educated first, and then make a decision.

My wife wants to get a snake.

I have no feelings on big snakes.
As long as they arent biting me.

> Now why would a teacher feed a snake in front of his students?

That is a good question. And the only answer I can only give you is that the way he is. He even fed it a few live animals, such as a guniuea pig, that was sick, and he was dying, He even fed it a few mice, hamsters, and other small rodents. He god rid of the snake around March of the same year. One time I was in the classroom for a noon detention with another classmate, and I went up to the cage, which was about 4 feet tall, and about a foot in a half wide. I knocked on the cage, and he stuck his tongue at me, which made the teacher mad, because he told me that was teasing him.

One time he was crawling all over the cage, and the janitor walked in and she was watching it, The snake was as high as the cage. I can only assume a few parents did not like the snake in the classroom, and that is why I can only assume he got rid of it My mother liked the snake though.

When a snake flicks its tongue out at you, it's trying to smell you, that's all. It's not being rude.

> When a snake flicks its tongue out at you, it's trying to smell you,

I know that . I asked him why it was teasing him, and he refused to answer. One time he told the classroom (he was feeding him water before classes started) that as he opened the small door, which was on the left hand side of the cage, which was also on the counter, crawled out of the cage about a foot or so, and he blamed me for it. This happened like 2 months after I rapped on the cage. His name was Leon BTW.

indifferent

I think they are very noble creatures.

And I think they stimulate me symbolically as being symbols of wisdom.

I like big snakes. So much so hat I've gone out of my way to be aquainted with a boa constricter and an indian python.

I want a ball python. My husband is a Herp-phile..He's had reptiles and snakes and fish and is well read on their care and *snickers* feeding.

I believe the snake is the serpent, as in Adam and Eve...and is pure evil!

I'm not particularly bothered by large snakes either way.

Actually, big snakes are far more likely to be constrictors. They'd squash you to death rather than bite you.

Squashed or bitten to death, either way I'm still not liking them.

Big snakes are cool.... all animals are.

I don't think that snakes should be kept as pets though.

I like big snakes (as opposed to small snakes) because you can see them better and can walk away.
I like small snakes sometimes, they are prettier.
But big snakes give you warning, most of the time, some big ones are sneaky.

My dad raises snakes so I don't mind them (most of the time if they really mean them I will not go near them)

I don't like or dislike them.

I love all snakes and have since childhood.

My friend has a 4 foot Royal Boa and I love handling it. He says I'm really good with snakes because of how they calm right down when I hold them. He has 6 snakes now.

The Anaconda is my favorite big snake and the Eastern Diamondback for outright beauty.

I love everything about snakes. I really love how the belly scales feel!

I think people should buy snakes bred in captivity, not caught in the wild.

Size doesn't matter so much as if they are poisonous or not.

I have no particular feelings about big snakes.

I hate snakes, they are just wrong

snakes don't bother me
