National Serpent Day

National Serpent Day, a day celebrated on the 1st of February, is a holiday that’s designed to give snake fans a day to celebrate their favorite pets. Although snakes have gotten a bad rap over the years as being either dangerous and/or evil, snakes have also been traditionally seen as a symbol of fertility and healing. And that’s not even mentioning the fact that there are many species of snakes that make pets. Anyone who has their own pet snake might want to take a few moments out of their busy day to give this holiday a try
