| Training helps, for sure. I don't think anyone picks up snakes here unless they are "Snake Catchers". |

| It was in my first year at college. :) I found the snake and the professor about cried. I brought it to him and the rehabber saved the snake's life. Good to note that bullsnakes are non-venomous. I'd never do that for something like a rattlesnake without a tube and a snake hook. Which I am also trained for at this point lol |
| Narran Park |
| I am not afraid of them, but i am definitely wary. I could not fathom picking a snake up in the wild, never. Good job saving it Versa! They all play their roll. |
| Versailles |
| Like, pick it up off the street to take to him. I was the only one who would. He was SUPER chill. He has since recovered and been re-released. |
| Versailles |
| Snakes don't scare me really at all... But I know everything to look for and the venomous snakes within my area, *easily* I can identify them and keep myself safe. Though I have picked up a wild bullsnake at my previous state. Professor took it to rehab after being run over by a car and nobody else wanted to pick it up... So I did lol. |

| As an Aussie. It is absolutely DRUMMED into us from a very young age to stay away from snakes. almost all ours are venomous and the non-venomous ones look the same as the venomous ones...so our fear is heightened. |
| Narran Park |
| Yeah you're probably right. A combination between Evolution and childhood trauma. |
| Versailles |
| Things like this get passed down through generations. I heard somewhere that prehistoric spiders were HUGE. Like, take the biggest spider today and double it. It's probably genetic, like the snakes. |
| Versailles |
| I'd say it's similar to the fear of snakes, or maybe even lupophobia (phobia of wolves). Historically, humans had to be scared of snakes due to the venom. Snakes today are very different. The fear of wolves has been one budding more recently, due to all of our nursery stories detailing them eating farm animals. Which is actually very rarely occurring. :) |

| I had a large wolf spider living with me in my old apartment. His name was Travis and he liked to hide behind my desk. |

| I'd love to own a rose knee tarantula, they are my favorite 😍 |

| Versa yea I used to not be afraid of them when I was younger but for some reason I am afraid of them now lol |
| Versailles |
| See, I won't put my hand ANYWHERE near spiders because I just... Don't trust them, lol. But I've held a praying mantis with my bare hands so my professor could save it... Spider fear is irrational but very relevant in humans. |
| Wolf Dancer |
| Like I get that they are here for a reason but that still doesn't make them less scary to me lol I don't hate them, just am scared to death by them x.x |

| Im pretty chill with the 2 small brown spiders that chill on opposite sides of the ceiling. They keep the flies that come through my air conditioner at bay |
