I mainly afraid of snakes. My I was like 4 I loved snakes. And I had a giant stack of woods and my dad found a garter snake. I was little and didn't know that garter snakes are harmless. I followed him when was taking it to the field to let it loose. But when he put it down it chased me. It scared the living crap out of me. Ever since I've been pertrified of snakes. I still think they're interesting but i don't want to get close to one!

no. most snakes are harmless, and few are venomous. i have handled venomous snakes all my life and never got bit. all snakes just dont want to be bothered and try to run away when in your presence, exept black mambas. Snakes are very smart creatures and you shouldnt be afraid.

SPIDERS!!! But, i absolutely LOVE snakes! I am 13 and I recently got a ball python about 1yr ago. I loved him so much, so I got 3 more! Then I decided that i eventually want to breed them. I walk around the mall (think about this, a 13yr old girl walking around the mall with four snakes in her hand who is not freaking out) and people will wonder how i can handle them. snakes are a beautiful creature that deserve to be respected. I think that snake might have chased you to make itself a threat because it was scared. either that or it was released the wrong way. I got bit by my little girl, and after i was scared to pick her up again. but, later that same day, i picker her up and after that she was fine. i am no longer afraid of her and life goes on. just try to meet somebody with a tame pet snake like a cornsnake or a ball python or a red tail boa and let them teach you about them. have them help you to hold it and touch. you will soon realize how harmless but beautiful these creatures are!

spiders, no. Sharks, only when I'm in the ocean, and snakes...only the little ones. It's the silliest thing...I can pick up a boa no problem, but a tiny baby corn snakes gives me the creeps. It comes from finding a garter snake in a gravel pile I was playing in as a child. It scared the crap out of me and they have given me the creeps ever since.

Not really. Maybe spiders a little bit, but only brown recluses and black widows. The only thing that scares me regarding them is that you potentially could get bitten by one in the darndest of places without even seeing it. Still, the odds are pretty slim.
Sharks do not scare me at all, because I don't hang out in the ocean paddling around like some fool seal. Snakes do not scare me, either, because very few of them are dangerous in my area. I life in Florida, and what poisonous snakes there are here are easily identifiable and tend to shy away from human contact. The odds of getting bit by one are very slim. Should it happen, the chances of death are almost nil. Go to a hospital. Get anti-venom. It'll hurt, but you'll live.
Eh. You're more likely to get killed in a car accident then by being injured by all three of these combined. Are you scared of automobiles? Maybe you should be! If not, then you probably shouldn't be scared of sharks, snakes, and spiders, either.

I love snakes and sharks! But I am deathly afraid of spiders. I have to snakes and my fiance wants a tarantula but I can't handle the fact that it would be in the house.

Snakes and spiders. Mainly snakes though because most of the time spiders are good for the environment and they leave me along. Snakes on the otherhand seem to have bad personalities and just freak me out. I am fine with sharks because I have never had an incounter with one.

Only spiders they creep me out for some reason. Not snakes only poisonous cause I would like not to feel the pain of the medication and venom..... Sharks arent scary they dont even attack us they only do if we have a cut and blood was everywhere or if you where splashing around everywhere like an injured seal. I have been swimming whith sharks they dont bite they just wanted the food I was giving them.

I love snakes, am pretty indifferent to sharks, and spiders kinda scare me, although I don't really freak out if I see one. I think a big part of not being scared of them is where I live...no sharks, and any snakes and spiders are not poisonous.

Not really. I have a healthy respect for them. I think they are beautiful creatures with complex lives and each has a much needed role in the environment. Rat snakes keep down the rats. Sharks regulate the seal population and spiders keep down insect infestations. I let spiders spin their webs in the barn because they keep down the flies.

Just the biting ones, or the ones that dont taste good.
What scares the crap out of me is a shark with a snake on it and a spider.
