About

I suffer from Ophidiophobia - the extreme fear of snakes. I grew up in Texas where there are about 115 or more species and subspecies of snakes reside- the most in all of the United States. I learned to have a healthy respect for all snakes. My great grandmother who resided in Pineywoods area of Texas always would say you should not even think about snakes because that would make them appear. So in honor of her to help us not to even think snake, I have designed these snake or rattlesnake socks. May they remind us to tread carefully without having to think about snakes (thus making them appear).
