It's totally reasonable to be hesitant about animals that you can't predict, and snakes are especially unintuitive! If you want to learn more about them, I always recommend the Youtube Channel "Green Room Pythons"! The host has some very bad dad joke humor, but he is one of the best keepers around (in terms of optimizing enrichment and following current behavioral research) :D

Here's my favourite episode of his series where he introduces snakes to people who don't like snakes - it's a really neat format because people do tend to have the same kinds of questions and he's really patient in answering them :)
