n ancient cultures, snakes were not feared, but worshipped, as symbols of wisdom, fertility and immortality – a theme found consistently throughout both indigenous and pagan belief systems around the globe. Sadly, as human populations grew, conflict with both flora and fauna increased, and in many parts of the world, the rise of the major western religions saw most ancient symbols, including snakes, fiercely disparaged, to make way for new teachings.

Next, the common krait, which is found in India, where it is one of the 'big four' – the species that cause the most snake bite cases in South Asia. This highly venomous specimen typically feeds on other snakes as well as lizards and small mammals. Alarmingly, many people who are bitten by the krait don't even realize it because the bite is practically painless. Krait bites can occur when people are asleep – feeling like that of an ant or mosquito – and there have been instances where the victim never wakes up.
Even though the venom is slow-acting – it can take several hours for its effects to take hold – it has an LD50 of 0.09, with death often arriving by respiratory failure.

The most common reason people fear (and kill) snakes is that people believe snakes will attack them. Snakes will not actively attack people or their pets.
When a snake finds itself cornered they may be provoked into striking their "perceived" attacker. A snake will feel as though it is being attacked if it believes it's life is under threat.
This usually happens when someone startles the snake. Firstly, a snake will always try to flee the scene, if the snake is in a corner they are unable to make their escape and will defend aggressively if provoked further.
If one leaves a path for the snake to escape it will usually take that option and make it's getaway when no one is watching :)
