About This Quiz
Snakes are some of the most primal, primordial animals in the world. They're fascinating creatures that can be deadly dangerous or harmless and helpful to homeowners. Who wouldn't want a little vermin-eating friend in the yard? Then again, who wants a venomous creature with fangs and a bad attitude around? As with so many things in life, you take the good with the bad.
Luckily for most of us, we tend to avoid the dangerous snakes and even the not-so-dangerous ones in our day to day lives. When we do come across them, it's usually safely and securely, like in a YouTube video or, at best, at the zoo. And sometimes we can go a step further and maybe snag one as a pet.
It all depends on your comfort level, though. For most of us, it's best just to look from a distance to appreciate the grace and beauty a snake has, which has long captured the imaginations of humans. Fact is, snakes and human spirituality have gone hand in hand for ages. And with that in mind, why not mix it up a little right here right now? Tell us what you think about these snakes, and we'll tell you what your spirit animal is?
