funny thing is, i do not mind tarantulas but i hate the little spiders that roam free.

other fears are small dogs, ghosts.

My son has hounding me for over a year now to get a tarantula for him. He thinks they are the coolest things in the world ever since he held one.


Why couldn't he have asked for something simple like a cobra? That I could understand.:D Why does it have to be a spider?:confused:

when i had the stripped knee tran. my kids loved it from the get go, i thought they would be leary about it but no my daugher wanted it to climb all over her when i brought it in the house, no hesitation at all. but man let there be a daddy long legger around and we all freak out like it is going to kill us. lol

out of all the animals ive ever come into contact with, the only ones that still get me scared are big pet birds, like Macaws and large parrots, I mean Eagles and Hawks are fine, its just those certain birds. I can deal with venomous snakes and venomous spiders but get me around one of those birds and I get spooked.

only thing i find freaky about birds is thier eyes and how they dont stop starring at your. tarans. are great i have a rose knee haired taran. and im picking up a bird eating taran. and yes i found out my phobia the other nite while laying in bed.

for some reason im terrified of a house or other building collapsing on me. and this is pre-911 it came to me outta no where the other nite i remeber being a kid and scared of houses falling on me. and then it went away and the like last nite and the nite before i got freaked out and thought my house was gonna collapse

I'm mildy claustrophobic myself. I have no idea why, but I bet it's related to something that happened when I was very young.

It really really sucks when I'd had to go in for an MRI.

I was a little claustrophobic when I was a kid but I got over it to hide in a closet and jump out and scare people....... my desire to scare other people was stronger than my own fear. :twisted:


My wife's little cousin who is 10 years old now, but when she was younger it seemed like she was learning to be afraid of snakes from her mother.

When she is over at our house without her mom around she has no problems with snakes and has no problem even holding one of the ball pythons. But when she is with her mom, she is super afraid of snakes.

It seems that she was learning to be afraid of snakes subconsciously from her mom because her mom is terrified of snakes...... and chances are if it wasn't for me and my wife helping her get over her fear she would grow up and be afraid of snakes and may not really know why......

i dont know if this has any name....(probably not lol) but im afraid of any loose large objects...mot probably because i live in CA and EARTHQUAKES.....its not so much of the earthquakes.....its more of the big screen tv falling on my head....or my cabinet....or my computer... :D


IM SUPER SCARED OF BALL PYTHONS thats for sure....im sure everyone here agrees with me hehe :D :D

I'm kind of scared of spiders. I don't really have a desire to get one or hold one, but I do think that they are interesting. I stand up for them actually. If there is one in the house I don't try to kill it and if someone else tries to kill it I stop them. I don't love them, but I do respect them. The only other fear I have is being in a small room/closet for a long time...a little while doesn't bother me though.
