OH Yes, Yes, Yes...
Correct!! Ophidiophobia Snake

Truth? We have some trouble regarding any fear of snakes as "irrational". Nonetheless, the professionals think there's such a thing, and they call it ophidiophobia, from the Greek stem ophid "snake." Snake

This was taken from an MSN article this morning. See Todd. I'm not the only one, and I'm not irrational!! And I've never been able to get that darn video clip to work on any of my computers.

I was still trying to figure the camera out when he just took off and moved toward the snake. When I said, "I can't", I was trying to say that, "I can't see around the camera to see what he was doing or what I was supposed to be filming. All I could see was the viewfinder thing on the back of the camera." That's part of why what he did freaked me out so much... I couldn't see what was going on in front of me!! Then of course, the other part was seeing a rattlesnake coming towards me in the little viewfinder!!

I hate snakes with a passion. Keep them away from me. Evil or Very Mad
