Fun fact on the Anaconda film, the snake was based on the mythical Megaconda, a legendary Anaconda said to reach 50 feet in length. Be advised this was before the discovery of Titanoboa which actually could reach this size. Also on Snakes on a Plane, they actually addressed why these snakes are much more aggressive than they are suppose to be, even any aggressive species. It’s because of some plant drug they placed with the snakes is making them more aggressive. Whether this plant is real or not, I don’t know, but it gives an in film explanation why these snakes are a lot more aggressive than in real life, and why they are pursuing humans. Including the Python that eats a passenger.

Source on the megaconda? It is a seemingly made up story about a giant snake…but a 100 foot long snake isn’t something that you need particular creativity to come up with once you are aware of constricting snakes. So why couldn’t the writers of the film also have just made a movie about a giant snake. So I guess my question is if the writers or director said this at any point?

One movie I can think of that didn't stigmatize snakes was a scene from Unfortunate Events (2004). As the character Uncle Monty, who is also a herpetologist, mentions that snakes are more afraid of us than we are of them, and all snakes want to do is retreat and hide to somewhere safe. There's also a milk snake joke and a fictional giant viper that acts like a puppy so that's a plus. I like to think this scene made me more interested in snakes than afraid

I believe the reason so many people are scared of snakes is because our ancestors genuinely had to avoid them. There was actually a study done that showed that most infants who had never even seen a snake still had a negative reaction. Thankfully, this trait seems to be becoming less common as humans no longer need to fear snakes, but hominid’s fear of snakes actually lead to the evolution of multiple lines of spitting cobra.

Strange then that we venerate animals such as lions. If fear of snakes is an evolved trait, it's odd that we evolved to fear something that (except for the very largest constrictors) has plenty more reason to be more afraid of us than the reverse, while large carnivores like lions which absolutely would have predated on ancient hominids are considered majestic and noble.

@@michaelbuick6995 All the information of honoring Lions comes from when we had tools. Having long sticks and fire ensures we are safe as long as we don't flee. We can stand together and the Lion trying to kill us is literally its own death. Fight or Flight (Fear) gets us killed. So if we ever had that trait we evolved it away. Snakes on the other hand are a much more practical threat, small, often deadly, you won't know they are here till they are in strike range so Fight will save you or Flight will save you. They don't intend to prey on you often due to them being slow and us being a social species. So that bite, which from some species is 100% fatal without modern treatments, needs to be feared for survival. You have to react in an instant without warning or you will die. Fear in general is setting up instant reactions.

You are right in concluding that the basilisk is not a snake, because the basilisk is in fact a bird. Both basilisks and their close relative the cockatrice are hatched from eggs laid by chickens.

They could also be the equivalent of a gun nut IRL - if the snake species used was a black mamba or other unusually aggressive one. It's just that there are several reasons that the main villain of the movie generally isn't an IRL gun nut or similar personality type. Minions, yes. Main villains? Nope. And the one time they did a version of a snake that was a workable villain, it had the ability to fire bullets from its tail. I'd figure - if you're going to make a snake a villain and still have its behavior adhere somewhat to reality, give it the ability to fire bullets or other projectiles. And maybe the hero defeats it by cutting off its bullet-firing device (if the hero defeats it at all).

Mind you, sometimes a dog will not go through with killing a person either - especially if they aren't trained to keep up their aggression - because a dog whose aggression comes by solely through bad experiences can sometimes relent, even after attacking, if they just so happen to attack a kid who reacts by holding still. So even there it isn't just "pick a dog any dog". You have to pick the dog that is trained to aggression if you want to use it as a murder weapon - and that dog has to have been abused, because dogs usually don't viciously attack each other or humans (though dogs do have a tendency to wrap humans around their little finger and have the human willingly go along).

My first snake encounter was with a red tail my moms new husband had one. A female name Rocky Bal Boa. I was afraid of her at first. She quickly won me over however. I later owned 2 of my own. I’d still have red tails if I could physically handle them myself. Time with a snake can win you over or at least show you don’t have to fear them. Snakes on a plane, I watched that movie. Hated that they used non venomous snakes. I remember yelling at my TV the different species I recognized. It Made common snakes found in the pet trade scary creatures. I know why they did it so everyone was safe around the snakes, I get that I’d rather accidentally be tagged by a boa, or and colubrid any day than a venomous snake even if it doesn’t inject its venom. But people will see them and think they are deadly snakes and be afraid of a beneficial animal. Just playing on fears that people already have.

So the Basilisk was originally supposed to look like a simple snake, but the sculptors began taking inspiration from other reptiles, such as the legless lizard, and adding osteoderms to the skin. This is why the belly scales look more like a monitor, and the head looks like that of a legless lizard with very sharp teeth. I thought it cool that this was an intentional design choice

If I'm not mistaken, the snake in the zoo that Harry talks to is a boa constrictor from Brazil in the book version. And it is described as being so large it could wrap around a car (I think they said it could wrap around it twice, but I may be mistaken). They probably realized that boas are relatively small when they were producing the film adaptation and opted for a burm instead.

Some of more common asked questions by the kids included, 1) Did I bring an Anaconda? 2) Did I bring a Komodo Dragon? 3) Are you like Steve Irwin and can I grab snakes like that? 4) Is that the same snake they used in (insert movie)? Honestly the fun part was transporting them back and forth from the 'home base' in my car. I had an albino Burmese python get out of his pillowcase because I didn't tie it tightly enough, and he coiled himself under the driver's seat. Had a heck of a time getting him out of there!

There is an episode of an anime that uses a sea snake as a murder weapon. The show is called "Case Closed" in America and "Detective Conan" everywhere else. I think it's in season 5 (english dub version). The killer basically extracted the venom into a person's hand rather than a vial while in the water off the beach and let the snake swim away afterwards. Super interesting episode of that show in regards to the crime. I recommend checking it out.

Budd's death scene in Kill Bill was actually...pretty well done. He was bit directly on the face, a highly vascularized area with direct and high-volume blood pathways to the heart and torso. It makes sense he'd collapse almost immediately, the bites triggered fight-or-flight...adrenaline release, vasoconstriction/dilation and heart rate increase, higher blood pressure and faster circulation, neurotoxins go to work faster. It wasn't the biggest on his list of issues, but I'm sure collapsing on his back didn't help either. Elle's monologue includes mention that envenomation results in death within hours, when received on the extremities. In other words, body parts which can have tourniquets/pressure-immobilizations applied to buy time to intubate and start antivenom.

With Snakes on a Plane, the snakes are more aggressive because the villains covered the passengers leis (it was a flight from Hawaii) with pheromones. They used snakes because their cold-blood would avoid conventional detection methods and, even if the snakes didn’t personally kill the target, their actions would cause a malfunction and send the plane crashing long before it fully crossed the Pacific. It’s a silly movie, but it’s one of my favorites
