It may change as you get older. At least that is the way it is with me.
I remember one time at a lake my dad turned over a rowboat. As soon as it was turned over I saw a snake. I took off running back to the cabin.
It really helps to know your environment and the type of snakes you may encounter.
A snake can still startle me, but I am much calmer now than when I was young.
Have a great week!
Steem on,

Might be possible! That was learning experience.
