This Vet wants Everyone to Kill their Fear of Snakes, but Nigerians Aren’t Interested

Growing up, you must have heard a statement that goes, “Whenever you see a snake, stand still like a tree and it would pass you by.” Well, either that’s true or not, very few are bold enough to give it a go.

To be honest, it’s really fascinating when people flaunt snakes on them, looking fearless, or even keep them as pets.

The instinct when a snake is seen is to run, shout or get the stone nearest to you, but this fearless Nigerian vet, @danielaremson, on Twitter, wants everyone to kill their fear of snakes.

Check out his tweets.

Kill your fear of snakes not snakes

If you see a snake, it will definitely not crawl up towards you and bite you.
Usually a snake is more scared of you than you are of it and would seek to hide or escape. It makes sense as you are x100 of its size. pic.twitter.com/3iJ0PYIjwN

Most times this is why many people get bitten in yard, farms or bushes. Once you can’t see the snake and the snake is already alerted to your presence, coming within that perimeter is dubbed as a threat which will make the snake to attack.

When you see a snake, do not sit down and be awwwwing, just look for a good way to avoid such. Don’t panic into trying to attack such as that may be the reason why you could be bitten by one.

True. But Doc some species of snakes have been known to slither their way into homes and bite sleeping occupants on their beds unprovoked. Mozambique spitting cobra and the dreaded black mamba can attack unprovoked too. Its rare yes but it happens.
