I think this has to be related to just being scared of small squirmy things in general. My girlfriend and most girls I know would hold a rabbit or a guinea pig, but would be freaked out by a small rat or a mouse. Also my ball python is still a little head shy so it'll jerk back occasionally if you touch too close to his head and the quick movements scare her.
