I personally think it's just fear of the unknown. Kinda like my fear of water for not being able to see what giant fish is lurking around. Gives me the spooks just thinking about it... My brother scares my aunt just by saying that he has snakes or any critter for that matter without even having anything on hand. It's funny and sad at he same time. IMO It takes the right type of person to deal with snakes, or animals In general.
