Ophidiophobia is the fear of snakes, and many people have this fear. A lot of people are afraid of snakes because they don’t know much about them. Here are a few interesting things about snakes and maybe it will help you get to know them a little better. For more information about these slithering creatures, check out The Nature Conservancy.

  1. Snakes can be found just about everywhere. They are in the mountains, deserts, forests and the water. They are very versatile and can adapt.
  2. Snakes are not slimy. Many people are frightened of them because they see the snakes slither so naturally, they must be slimy. This is not the case, they are scaley and dry.
  3. There are over 4,000 snake species but only about 600 are venomous. Just because you see a snake, does not make it venomous. Though it might just get away if you find one, it is best to leave it alone, you don’t know if it is venomous or not.
