G'day Cris,

I agree that fear of snakes, like the fear of just about anything, is instinctive in most animals. I disagree that it is instinctive in humans though. In our experience it is definitely a copy-cat learned response. Young kids are nearly always more inquisitive than the older kids who have had the "Snakes are bad" lesson drummed into them. I have yet to see a kid show genuine fear that contradicts their parents reaction.

Cheers

Jonno
