Does anyone else find this creepy?

Would you prefer it if they were spiders?

Me too and snakes don't bother me. But, these things are just weird.

I could deal with that, I don't mind squishing spiders.

As a kid I glued two pages of a book I had about animals together because there were snakes on that page and it freaked me out everytime I flipped past it.

I know they're just "cartoon" snakes, but anyone else getting the shivers while hunting/releasing them!?

Feeling a little miffed because my app is just not working right, but this made me lol. I am actually afraid of snakes and spiders and any other bug. This puts me in the mind of actually beating my daughter while trying to come out of my shirt as a cricket was on my shoulder. My daughter is grown now, but she was about 10 yrs old and still dramatic; noticed the bug on me and just screamed it at me. I was saying "get it off of me" repeatedly, while windmilling my arms in her direction while coming out of my shirt. So don't freak out like I did :)

@ lll3lucky - My momis totally terrified of spiders and does the same arm flail thing! Lol!! I can just see myself flinging the ipad out the window!!


I know it's not the simpsons, but has anyone seen Bobs Burgers? This song seems very appropriate (and is my new anthem!)

Funny you should ask; i was just wondering about this today.

I am not afraid of snakes, but yrs ago I had a friend who would freak out at even the mention of one.

If a snake were on tv, or a picture in a magazine, she would cringe and become horrified.

I have no doubt the realistic hiss, and sight of a cartoon snake slithering down a street would cause her unbearable stress.

I havent been in touch with this friend for the past 15yrs or so, but I thought of the scenario today, "what if she plays this game", and I assumed she would opt out of playing for the month.

So yes, I think it's normal. We all pretty much have phobias of something.

I think because some people do have extreme fear of snakes, and even if cartoon, they would have this reaction, EA should consider letting people opt out of the update if they so choose.

Perhaps a modified version where they could leave eggs but not see snakes.

Personally, I really like snakes, and all reptiles. But I just love rodents (hamsters, mice, rats etc) so I could never have snakes for pets since i could not bear to feed them rodents. I had newts as a child because I had no issue feeding them worms, but even something that eats crickets would be too violent for me to bear.
