Why do some people love snakes?

Many find snakes beautiful, appreciating their unique patterns, colours, and movements.

For some people, interacting with snakes—whether in the wild or in controlled environments—provides a sense of adventure and excitement.

Are all snakes dangerous?

The majority of snakes are way more harmless than people would imagine.

Some snakes will obviously be more aggressive than others, but for the most part, snakes want nothing to do with humans and have great tools for making sure they do not have a lot of encounters with them.
