RE: Afraid Of Snakes
(03-12-2013, 12:55 PM)4sweed Wrote: Snakes have had a bad stigma attached to them since the Garden Of Eden, in the Bible, with Adam and Eve. Snakes then were considered to be the bad news and that feeling is held by most women. I have known a few men who only talked about killing them, running over with car, instead of just tolerating the presense of snakes.

Which proves my original point, fear is instilled, and its usually through Religious beliefs that people hold.
Genesis is a story, the writer chose the serpent for a specific reason, the devil did not seriously chose the form of a serpent nor did god create the world in only 7 days (though that's stepping into a different topic completely). Had the writer chosen a rat, or an ape, or a dog I am sure the same fear people have towards snakes would be turned to focus on this other creature.
I can tell you right now that there is an almost equal ratio of men to women in the herpetoculture. My fiance is the one who asked for all of the snakes and geckos and lizards we own/owned, she's been in love with reptiles from a young age and most, if not all, of her female friends share the same respect and even interest in reptiles. Plenty of women keep snakes and other reptiles and there are plenty of women who enjoy field herping and finding wild snakes and lizards in their natural environment.
