ヘビを何も理解しないままに嫌う人を少なくしたい。常々、自分が考えていることです。ヘビはどうして嫌う人が多いのでしょう？やはり親からの影響が大きいのだと思います。
I want to reduce the person who dislikes snaking without understanding anything. I think always. Why will there be many people avoiding it in the snake? After all I think that there is the influence from a parent.
ヘビに対して好奇心を持たせ、可愛く見える写真を見せることで触れるようになった子供もたくさんいます。対して、親が強い嫌悪を持ってヘビに接する姿を見てきた子供達は、「ヘビって怖いものなんだ」と認識し、嫌う傾向があるように思います。
I gave the children whom I contacted curiosity for a snake. And I showed the photograph which looked love a snake. As a result, there are a lot of children who came to touch the snake. Children who have seen the appearance for parents to see the snake with a strong dislike it confronts think that it tends to recognize, “The snake is scared”, and to dislike it.
サルでの実験があったそうです。生まれてから一度もヘビを見ていないで育ったサルに突然ヘビを見せても、全く怖がらない素振りを見せたそうです。しかし、そのサルに、仲間である別のサルがヘビを見て怖がる姿を目の当たりにさせると、次回からはヘビを怖がるようになったそうです。本能的に、「ヘビに足がなくて異質だから」嫌うわけではないようで、ヘビが嫌いになるのは、回りの環境からの学習であると言えるでしょう。
There seemed to have been an experiment with the monkey in the past. Even if the snake was suddenly shown to the monkey that grew up without seeing the snake, it seems to have shown the pretense not feared at all. However, when another ape which is the companion sees the snake and the feared appearance is witnessed, it seems to have come to be going to fear the snake from next time the monkey. Because “Snake does not have a foot, and it is strange”, the monkey does not seem to dislike a snake. It may be said that it is learning from the environment of the circumference that a monkey comes to dislike a snake.
今回アップしたジムグリの写真は、ヘビが嫌いな人達に好印象を持たせるための写真ではありません。どちらかと言うと、ヘビ嫌いの人が持つ嫌なイメージを強調した写真だと思います。ぬめっとした生き物ではないけど、ぬめっとした感じが写真から受け取れ、そして、暗貌により、その表情を全く感じ取れない写真になっています。
A photograph of Japanese Forest Ratsnake which I updated this time is not a photograph for a snake to be able to give hateful people a good impression.
If anything, I think that it is the photograph which emphasized the unpleasant image that a person of the snakephobia has. Though it is not the creature which assumed that this photograph is slimy, you may receive the feeling that you did slipperily. And you cannot take in the expression of the snake by a dark feeling from this photograph at all.
でも、自分はこれはこれでお気に入りの写真。生き物には、見方や角度によって様々な表情を見せるものです。この個体と同じ個体の写真で、違う撮影の仕方で撮った写真がこれです。
But this is a favorite photograph to me. A creature shows various expressions by a viewpoint and an angle. With a photograph of an individual same as this individual, the photograph which I took by a way of different photography is this.

印象はかなり変わります。携帯へび図鑑（閉鎖しました）を作成する上で、注意していることの一つ。出来るだけ普通の人やヘビが嫌いな人でも、「あ、これなら怖くないな」と思えるような写真を1枚は入れるようにしています。
The impression considerably changes. When I make “Japanese snakes mobile”, it is that even a common person and a person disliking snakes put one piece of photograph which can think that “this is not scary” in the one of my being careful.
今回の「Darkness」、あなたには気持ち悪いと写りましたか？それとも質感があっていいと思いましたか？後者でしたら、あなたは「相当ヘビが好きな方」だと思います。
Did post of this “Darkness” feel feelings badness in you? Or, did you think that there may be feeling of quality by you? I think, you are “One where it likes equivalent snake” when it is the latter.
