Information about Reptiles
This information is here to help educate people,
particularly those who have been taught "the only good snake is
a dead snake!" In a February 2001 Gallup poll, here's
what people were afraid of:
- Snakes, 51%
- Public Speaking, 40%
- Heights, 36%
- Being Closed in Small Spaces, 34%
- Spiders and Insects, 27%
- Needles and Getting Shots, 21%
- Mice, 20%
- Flying on an Airplane, 18%
More than half of Americans are afraid of
snakes--even though they help eliminate Fear #7 (mice)! It's
time to learn about how wonderful reptiles are, and restore
claustrophobia to the #1 fear! :)
