    As if people aren't irrationally afraid of snakes already, names like "whip" and "racer" will surely help. Posted 4 years ago

      Ha! The fact is, both whipsnakes and racers are very very fast. The other fact is, they will invariably use that speed to go away from humans, not towards them. Posted 4 years ago
