The president need not be a trained herpetologist.

34. I've never had a reason to bite one.

I've gotten bitten many times, though never by anything with strong enough venom to harm me. I've taken pictures, because one can often tell the kind of snake based on the tooth pattern in one's skin. It's useful in my classes.

I've been bitten by crocodylians, too. Not very big ones, but crocodylians nonetheless.

You should hang around a group of people like me. What's the largest animal that's bitten you? What's the most dangerous animal that's bitten you? How many species have bitten you? What's the coolest parasite you've brought back? What's the most interesting disease you've been vaccinated against? Standard topics of discussion.
