no dyc. just grew up with lots of snakes  being from florida, and if i had been afraid of them would not ever gone outside, momma found a moccasin one time in the silverware drawer at breakfast, 5' rattlesnakes were quite common in those days not to mention pygmy rattlers, moccasins(cotton mouths) copperheads, coral snakes, most of the poisonous  ones but we also had alot of good snakes too, black snakes, rat snakes, king snakes, greensnakes (had one of those in the pear tree that sometimes was low enough for me to catch and play with) so needless to say, i like snakes, frogs and turtles, those were the "toys" i had to play with, no dolls for me
