Snakes, nothing else in this world scares me. I've told people that I'd rather face an army than one snake, and that's the truth!

Since I have a snake for a pet, it wouldn't do me to be afraid of them.

I am afraid of flying. :oops:

Well, then Snakes On A Plane could be potentially a GOOD thing for you, Sis. :wink:

Ladders if they are very high

Eight legged critters if they are big enough to see the fuzz.

i prefer to not be in high places without some kind of securing. I don't think it's fear, maybe just preference. ie - I loved many of the high cliffs in Ireland, when I visited. I went right up to the edge and leaned over the railings. go up the coast a bit where there are no railings, and I would stay on the path and not get any closer to the edge, than my height. :) so acrophibic in part, maybe.

I was extremely glossophobic, but something that God has dealt with me in my life. I still get butterflies before speaking or teaching, but only as a respect for accountability, I think, more than any kind of "fear" like it used to be. I also used to be sociophobic, and still am to a degree, not nearing fear, but like acrophobia, I still prefer to not have to be around people. this is something God (and my wife) is working with me as well.

snakes, spiders, scorpions, rats and mice can be pets. I have had them all as pets at one time or another. never had a bee/wasp as a pet, though I have had cockroach varieties, and other insects - preying mantis was one of my favorites of that category.

I can climb any tall later and feel just a relaxed. I helped install the projector onto the middle of our Church vaulted roof. No problem. I've flown in hot air balloons leaning over the edge.. just as relaxed etc.. No problem. I can also look over extreme heights no problem..

BUT.. I found out the hard way that.. I don't like to be dangled via straps over extreme heights. That freaked me out unexpectedly... so it must have something to do with being suspended by ropes.. while being in something or on something even if amazingly narrow is perfectly fine.

Go Figure.

Maybe I need to skydive a few times. I've always wanted to do that...

Hey sometimes you work with what you have. Hindsight is 20/20.

Example: I would have much rather driven a 2008 car in 1988.. but IT DIDN"T EXIST! Doh!

The experience, the money, and talent wasn't available...

I've had all as pets accept the mice. I draw the line at insects though. Even I have a limit.
