Me too!
I am terrified of snakes because when I was at infant school about 150 years ago, a lady bought some snakes in to show us. I was totally fascinated and not afraid at all.
She asked who wanted to hold a snake, and I was the only one NOT to put my hand up as I was a little unsure, although not scared. So she put this huge (well it was huge to me as I was about 5 years old at the time!) snake round my neck. I can still remember the feeling of utter terror that this huge thing was round my neck and was going to kill me (after all that is what I had seen/read about - snakes wrap themselves round things and then kill and eat them!!!!) I was only 5 don't forget.

I screamed and screamed so loud and long that they had to bring the school nurse to calm me down!
That was it - been terrified ever since!

Sorry, but will stick to anything furry rather than anything snake like - but each to their own, and I am sure loads of people on here get as much enjoyment from their snakes as I do from my dogs and cats!!! Just not for me!
