I work at a pet supply store, so we don't have any actual animals, but my manager is deathly afraid of snakes. She even went to therapy for it and couldn't bring herself to put her hand on a picture of a snake printed in a magazine. There was a time when she wouldn't come into my house (we knew each other before I worked for her) because of the snakes (well, at that time it was just one snake). She's getting a little better with it though, because her boyfriend is dying to get a snake and because we're getting more reptile stuff in at the store and are therefore doing a little reptile show thing to raise awareness about the fact that our store is no longer just for dogs and cats.
At first she didn't even want to go to the show herself, because I would be bringing my snakes and someone else was bringing his reptiles, including snakes, but now she's decided that she's going to go, and just steer clear of the snake tables
