In many Asian cultures, seeing a snake is considered good luck and a sign of prosperity. The snake's ability to shed its skin is often linked to renewal and change, which many consider a positive and lucky sign. Snake emblems, imagery, or totems were traditionally often worn as protective talismans and symbols of good fortune in many cultures. In ancient Rome, the snake was associated with Asclepius, the god of healing, and was believed to bring luck and health.
