Snakes

I have a strong phobia of snakes. I cannot stand the view even of the photo of a snake. I know that there are a pair in our garden. I do not know where they hide, but they have the habit to change their skin in my rosemary plant. You can imagine how scared I am to go in that area.

@moffittjc My snake phobia is so strong that I'll have a nightmare tonight after reading about serpents. Even living in Ireland where there are no naturally occuring snakes I still check the toilet before sitting on it and look under the bed before putting my feet to the floor.

Snakes are adorable. It surprises me how many people have a fear of snakes, even the harmless ones.

I'm afraid of snakes too. But I'm also afraid of heights.

@moffittjc LOL sorry I'm not mocking your phobia at all! It's just how you said that! Made me laugh so much. I feel bad for you though! My Nan HATES snakes also. She can't stand even watching them on TV. She puts her hands over her eyes until it's gone. ok I suck with this question. I always have because I can't tell if I have phobias or it's actually because of bad experiences. I do know I have a phobia of spiders. I don't care how big or how small, I don't want it near me! I don't know if this is a phobia or maybe from me watching too many horror movies as a child, but I've had my moments where I am in a pool and I feel like something is going to pull me under for me to drown. Maybe that's because I nearly drowned as a child though? I also don't like knives. Well actually I don't mind the knife itself, but I don't like when people around me are holding knives but this is because when I was younger, I caught mum cutting her wrist and when mum and dad had arguments, there were a few times where a knife would be involved. So that's what I mean by not knowing if I would still put these down as phobias or if it's just because I've been traumatised. So basically spiders is my phobia. And clowns....I don't like clowns.

Once I was walking down the street with a friend of mine and we saw a snake. We ran after the snake but snake crawled so fast and disappeared in a few seconds. I loved the speed of this scary animal.

i always see them as we are living near the woods and river.. and we always see them just right in the outside walls of our house but I really am afraid of them.. and also geckos..

Spiders - even tiny ones. In fact, I'm not over-keen on insects, either. I don't mind snakes if I know they are harmless - and we only have one venomous type in the UK. When I was working for a publishing company, one of my colleagues, who lived in an apartment over a pet shop in the city centre, was joined in his shower by an escaped garter snake one morning. At least that time he had an excuse for being late!

I actually like snakes. My brothers used to keep Garter snakes as pets, and I like their smooth, dry, cool skin. People think they are slimy, but they are not. Of course I steer clear of Rattlesnakes, and a snake crossing my path will make me jump, but once I see that they are harmless, I appreciate what cool animals they are.

Where do I start? LOL 1. Centipedes 2. Any kind of big spider If the insect is small I can tolerate it but if it is big in size you can forget about it.
