Some people are drawn to snakes, others recoil in fear.
Throughout history, snakes have figured prominenetly in religion and folklore, representing both good and evil. Some of the fascination comes from the fact that they have no legs, and this makes them mysterious to us. For whatever reason, the snake is the subject of countless rumors and stories, most of them entirely fictional. Many people believe that all snakes are dangerous, slimy creatures. This is far from the truth.
