i dont have a problem with snakes really. in the US there really arent any dangerous snakes. the mojave rattlesnake is the only one youd have to worry about, but its pretty rare and only found in and around the desert that gives it its name. Coral snakes would be dangerous, but they are rear fanged and they need to chew on you to inject their venom. all the other baddies that you hear about (copperheads, cottonmouths, and various other rattlers) will cause pain and thats it. sometimes some people are allergic, and that would cause some issues. i have personally been bitten by a copperhead. painful, yes, but not really dangerous.
Just dont let anyone convince you there are any deadly snakes in the US
