I, myself, am afraid of snakes. It was cause back when I was little, I had jumped over what I thought was a hose and it moved super quick and scared the crappers out of me. I love to work with snakes but it's very uncomfortable to do so. While volunteering at the zoo, I've worked with the snakes and my fear started to lift then I stopped going around in August, and going back in February. It's gonna be hard to get back into the habit of working with them.
