mine are spiders...large or small. totally irrational and uncontrolable fear. in fact i cant even call it fear...im petrified of them to the point the thought of an arachnid makes me shiver. i have difficulty looking at them let alone going near them or touching them.

how can i conquer this? as my snakes live in the shed and im too scared to look in the corners of it for fear of what i may see.

duno why im so scared of them, but put me in front of a large burm or retic and im fine.

other strange insects i tend to be a little afraid of, the ones that look really weird, have more than 6 legs...or have strange furr...spikes, horns or the like.


strange eh ?

anyways what are your phobias if any ? and how can i conquer mine....dont even try and say hold one lol

your exact same as me dont like anything with more than 4 legs. especially spider.
can just tolerate my crickets for my gecko!

but throw a huge snake n front me of id b fine

Yes, that's me too. I've always been afraid of any spiders and my general 'rule of thumb' was "no legs, 2 legs 4 legs I can cope with, but more than 4 - no way, but age brings wisdom and although I still don't like small ones, I can handle and cope with a tarantula now without any problems.

Horses? Yes they can kill you, but so can cows and what looks more placid than a cow chewing the cud in a field?
