When you hear the word "cute," snakes are probably the last thing to come to your mind. There's just something so cunning about them that we're unable to look past their slick skin and venomous fangs to see their true beauty.
However, Bored Panda is here to prove to you that these scary animals can actually be charming and adorable too! We've collected some of the cutest pictures, from tiny baby reptiles to grown-up serpents wearing quirky hats, in hopes that this list might just help you conquer your fear of snakes, called ophidiophobia. Though to choose the most adorable ones from more than 3.000 known species of snakes was a hard task, we think we succeeded in our mission.
Keep in mind that snakes can be very dangerous so you should never try handling a wild one, no matter how cute it might look! And though only 600 of the 3.000 are venomous, the choice to touch one might be the first and the last in your life. Snakes are best to be adored from a distance. All warnings aside, scroll down to check the cute snakes!

Well I love snakes to start with. I just know this is gonna be an awesome list! *girlish laugh*
Me too! And where a lot of people will freak out and say Ewww to these sweeties, I say Awww 😍
Load More Replies...Don't start with a random snake just because it's cute or cool. I suggest researching and watching Snake Discovery to make sure it doesn't get malnourished or have too little space or not enough uv light, having wrong conditions can lead to disease, parasites, deformities, and even death.

These wholes are leading to heat sensive organs, so the snake is able to "see" something like a heat map, nature gave this snake this gift, because their eyes aren't the best, especially for night the heat sense is super important.

I know. It’s very sad. Why can’t we humans just leave animals be? What if someone threw you in a box and kept poking you and touching you....this is why I’d only have cats or dogs as pets. Animals who evolved to be able to live compatibly with humans.

Very pretty. Where does this variety live? Which country? How can it find camouflage with that bright yellow?
It's a Morelia Viridis. It lives in New Guinea and some islands in Indonesia. They hatch yellow/red/blue but as adults, they're solid green, hence the name "Green tree python".

My Ball Python girly-girl, Eke-Grace. Eke is not pronounced Eek, it's Eh-KAY. It's the Igbo word for Ball Python. The species originally came from West Africa but are bred all over the place now because they are so known for gentle temperment. LoveABall-...c1a53f.jpg
I don't believe snakes want to be protected by a "mama." They are not social animals like dogs or birds. Snakes tolerate their humans and some may enjoy interacting with us to a degree but just because they're cute doesn't mean they should be pets. That's my personal opinion.
Juvenile Boomslang
Bewmsleng is A N G E R Y snek. He gonna do u a BBBIIIGGG CONCERN.Look but no boops. DANGER.
Boomslang is not an angry snake, it is actually a very shy snake and would most likely "run away" if it detects a human. They only bite if they feel threatened and would give you a warning (it inflates it neck etc). Although very venomous, the venom takes a while to work in a human body (2-5 days). if bitten, seek medical attention. Most people who die from Boomslang (which there have been very few) were by people who were not trained snake handlers. A dangerous snake yes, but not an angry snake. They are very placid.

i very much appreciate seeing all these adorable danger noodles.
A reasarcher put a toy snake and a toy turtle by the side of a road as an experiment... the snake was three times more likely to be hit. I still can't believe people would intentionally hurt these tiny vulnerable noodles... in my area, the most "dangerous" snake is the one that will make your hands smell like garlic for a while if you pick them up. And yet people still treat them horribly. I mean just look at this cuteness! I found this little guy huddled under a plant pot outside in some pretty cold weather, and let him snuggle in my pocket for a while before he warmed up and went on his way
Snakes aren't that bad. Most snakes don't even want to hurt you. The only reason they would is as a defense mechanism. Have you even touched or held a ball python? They are the sweetest things in the universe. And even if they bite it doesn't hurt.
Load More Replies...I love snakes, and I respect them. I wish I could have one as a pet, but the thought of having to feed little other animals to it, makes me back out of the idea. Regardless, I would caress any snake I see, if it's safe, of course. Thank you for the post, I loved it!
There is out there a company called reptilinks that make complete food for snakes. They look like, well, little snake sausages, and are actually more complete nutritionally for a snake than feeding it a dead mouse or rat. So yes, snake sausages.
