I have genuine fear of water [hydrophobia/aquaphobia] I can't go on a boat/ship, can't look down into the water from a bridge and the thought of my head going under water petrifies me. I can't watch underwater scenes on any TV programme either, totally freaks me out. I got persuaded once to go on the Log Flume at Alton Towers 
NEVER again!!
Spiders have same affect on me as well. Ugh!!

Snakes. Not that i've ever seen one loose in the wild, but that's gotta be my worst nightmare, especially if i knew it was a bit of a vicious bugger. The film "Venom" had a lot to do with that, seeing the Black Mamba swinging from Susan George's (i think) neck. Yeeuughhh!!!

ajm - no i haven't. That wouldn't help though - cos i know they wouldn't let me hold one that was truly dangerous. It's not the thought of what they feel like, it's the fear that i'll get bitten and die a slow painful death!! In the wild, i wouldn't know a harmless one from a Taipan, so i wouldn't do anything other than run, fast!!

Having said that, I would want to get a good look at it before making the decision to leg it, but then I am an avid Irwin fan!

Hope none of you get put into Room 101 then! The Orwell one that is.
There are some snakes that can move faster than a human can run Telboy, so you need a bit of anticipation!
