Does anyone else find this creepy?

I'm sort of a completist and I have to have Everything, so I am definitely whacking the snakes, but I get a shiver up my spine everytime I see them slithering out of an egg or one of the logs I bought. It completely creeps me out!!! I am completely and totally afraid of snakes! 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!?

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.
