The only problem with this is that people with pet snakes have real feelings for their snake, so when they hear "all snakes are bad," it most likely hits a nerve because
their snake is "loving" (can snakes be loving? i personally do not like them!). But if someone who had a major fear of snakes, came on the forum and said "I am TERRIFIED of snakes, and feel like all snakes are out to get me, help," i think there would be more support than, "All snakes are awful creatures that need to be exterminated from the earth."
