Is it normal to be scared of snakes?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to be scared of snakes. They can seem unpredictable, and a little caution around them is sensible.

Absolutely. Lots of people feel uneasy or scared around snakes, even when they know a particular snake is harmless. Their movement and appearance can set off a pretty natural “keep your distance” reaction—and some snakes really can be dangerous, so caution isn’t silly.

If the fear is so intense that it keeps you from places or activities you’d otherwise enjoy, you could work on it gradually. But simply not wanting to get close to a snake? Very normal.
