Snakes are usually portrayed as bad or evil in Western media. Snakes are not often examples of this trope because many species, like pythons, don't look that cute in RealLife. Subsequently, snakes are drawn as mean-looking even if the character in question belongs to a cute-looking species. Sometimes, they can be portrayed as sexy or hypnotic, but usually not as cute. There are a few species that look cute in RealLife, like garter snakes, but the preconceived notions that many people in the West have of snakes keeps many people from thinking that they look cute.
