In my personal experience, fuck no.
I was in Afghanistan working as a civilian contractor. I have a snake phobia. A colleague of mine was walking out to our elevated platform (a platform that sat above shipping containers with wooden steps going up to the platform) at 2 am and ran inside because he saw a snake underneath the steps. Since that moment, I was terrified of walking around the site at night.
To make matters worse, when winter came around, the same coworker saw a baby snake and gathered the others to put it in a Tupperware. I said okay let me see it to get over my fear. Mannnnn I’m still scared of snakes 😭
When they took the baby snake to pest control, the guy freaked out and scolded my colleagues saying that they could’ve gotten bitten and that the base didn’t have anti-venom available…
