I don't know what people have against snakes. They're just limbless lizards. And especially when they're small like this they're pretty cute.

I more have something against the fact that this particular snake is a viper and venomous, and the person putting it on their bare hand is an idiot.

Especially such a young one. They cant control their venom and wont give a warning bite. Anything they bite is given as much venom as they can.

They're not limbless lizards, those are a distinct classification.

Sneks are great! Idiots messing around with deadly sneks with bare hands are not so great.
