I was with my friend in her house yesterday and I didn't know she has a snake as a pet! When I saw it I freaked out and screamed so loud. In the end she had to lock the door to the room the snake was In so I could feel safe. Seriously though, why so some people like snakes? No offence to people who like snakes but they are so disgusting and their body shape is...ugh. the way they slither is so unpleasant to look at.
Why do some people like snakes?

I have four snakes as pets.
Snakes are great pets.
Fear of snakes is mostly due to lack of knowledge on them or traumatic experiences at a young age.
Snakes are really harmless, unless you specifically mess with them.
Snakes aren't disgusting at all! They're really awesome.
There are arboreal snake species, which means they live almost exclusively up in the trees.
There are ground dwelling snakes that live primarily on the ground.
And semi-arboreal snakes which spend some of their time in trees and some on the ground.
Even aquatic snakes!
That's pretty awesome
Some snakes are more intelligent than other species which is also pretty cool.
It's so cute when they drink c:
Also hognose snakes are ADORABLE.
Do you want to learn about snakes to be better educated on them and maybe fear them less?
They're honestly harmless unless you don't respect them the way they deserve to be respected.

I think they're the most elegant & pretty reptiles. They have really interesting personalities. My friend Coral's snake Freddy used to let me wear him as a belt (not literally, I'd just loop him around my hips) for hours and out of the 8 years we've been friends that cutie has never tried to escape or harm anyone.
because people like what they like, even if other people hate those things
its not just with snakes either, there's things everyone likes that other people won't and can't fathom. there are reasons of course for liking or disliking anything, sometimes the same reason, but this just feels oddly specific a singular thing to focus on

Snakes are amazing creatures. They are very interesting.
Because some people favor snakes over other animals like how some people favor certain foods over others. I personally like snakes while I know a few people who really hate them.
I had two pythons as a kid and I loved them 
They're interesting and unique pets to have, and they rarely bite you unless you've forgotten to feed them, or if they're shedding their skin (because their eyes cloud up and they can't see) and they feel unsafe.
They're not fluffy or snuggly like cats or dogs, but they still deserve people who love them and take care of them. You don't have to have them as pets yourself, but just know that they aren't dangerous or unsanitary, and that you have no reason to fear them.

Because they're happy little swirls with cute faces and they just want to sleep in your socks
everyone's got their own opinion, and just because you find them unappealing doesn't mean everyone else does! c:
i had a snake growing up, and she was a total sweetie. i've found that almost every pet snake i've ever interacted with has been great, i've never once had one act aggressively towards me. not to mention they're gorgeous creatures that have so many different varieties, colors, designs, all that. and like pretty much every animal, 99.9% of them are more afraid of you than you are of them. as long as you respect them and don't go and poke or prod them, they have no reason to harm you. any animal can hurt you if you give them a reason to, so as long as you go about things intelligently you have nothing to fear.

I like to calligraphy.
I think they are kinda cute, and I want one for a pet, but my grandma is terrified of them.

Some people take on the hobby of having snakes as pets. Same goes for geckos, lizards, frogs, and etc. I wouldn't want to have a snake as a pet but if I did I'd want one that never bites out of instinct and is domestic.
