People hate what they fear. In most cases this goes back afar and goes into religion. snakes were/are Serpents. In most cases serpents were assosiated with the devil.(Like the snake in Adam and Eve) and were feared for many years. Even today!!! Like most fears, you can inherate them off other people when you are very young.
Probably because they're not 'cute & cuddly' like furry creatures. Add to that - the story of Adam and Eve being tempted by the serpent, in The Bible - and it's easy to see why snakes have a 'bad press'. In reality - of the 2,400 know snake species - only about 400 species are actually venomous. Additionally - of those 400 species - only a small proportion produce venom potent enough to kill people.

There are 14 types of snakes in Massachusetts. Some of which are diurnal, These are tips on finding these creatures. 1. When to find snakes = When looking for snakes in MA make sure its a sunny day in the Spring, Summer, and early and mid fall. The temperature should be between 65-85 degrees. Tip ( snakes don't like it when goes lower than 65 or 85 degrees).

Also some snakes like Ring Neck snakes can be found on cool cloudy or foggy summer mornings.
