Why are people scared of snakes?


assistant
Snakes tend to scare people for a number of reasons. For starters, many of them have poisonous venom. Snakes are also very stealthy and oftentimes you may not even be aware of their presence. Some people are also frightened by the fact that snakes slither, and do not have any legs. Encountering a snake in the wild can send chills down your spine.
