What self-respecting man is SCARED OF SNAKES? We all have one in our trousers for crissakes! tell him to get over himself and conquer this totally irrational fear...unless of course you are planning on getting like a 16ft Burmese or something lol
Many "self-respecting" people are scared of snakes...a fear is a fear irrational or not, and belittling someone because of said fear isn't helping the situation.
