At snake farms they give you pythons to hold. So you understand that snakes are not slippery and cold, but warm and dry. And then you learn which are dangerous and which are not. I had a comrade come in recently with the same fear. Didn't want to wean himself off. My childhood helped me a lot in that sense. We caught everything that crawled, but there were no dangerous ones in the region. And then, already on outings, adults showed and told me which ones you shouldn't touch and how to behave when meeting them.
