I'm kind of indifferent honestly. I'd never kill a snake or lizard or turtle on sight like some people, but I don't flip out. I grew up with reptiles. My dad is a herpetologist (not professional) and kept snakes for most of my life. We've got a box turtle (not sure exactly what kind) that's older than me. Had a leopard gecko, some tokei (sp?) geckos which were very angry all the time. A large bearded dragon. I know we had some kind of frog when I was young...I can't remember exactly what kind, something very basic. Also had a "budget's frog," not sure of the spelling of that. It was very large and fat and actually had two large bottom teeth that drew blood on my dad's hand one time.
As far as snakes when I was younger my dad had some california king snakes that I remember, black and white colored. He had some corn snakes, reddish brownish. Some andes mountain milk snakes, one of which was very large. Some prairie king snakes. Some other milk or king snakes which looked like the andes mountains but were colored a little more vibrantly, somewhere between the andes and a coral snake. And I'm sure he had many others that I'm leaving out.
I'm from Illinois, so many of the things I've seen are native to the state. In the wild I've seen countless cotton mouths and copperheads. Countless garter snakes. I've seen some very small snakes too, forget the names. In southern Illinois. I've seen several salamanders also, I think a marbled salamander? It was white and black. Also a yellow/orange one with black spots, forget the name.
So yeah...reptiles really don't phase me at all, but they're a shit ton of work really if you really want to take care of them. Snakes require constant cleaning of their cages. They're always shitting and shedding skin. The food is also kind of a pain too. Feeding them mice. My dad actually bred his own mice and I think purchases frozen "pinkys" as well. Basically, if I saw a snake in the wild and knew it wasn't venomous (except for water snakes cuz they're pretty mean), I'd pick it up and show off to whoever I was with...but I have no desire to keep any reptiles.
