*I'm* like that, but not with snakes. I adore snakes, but lizards make me scream and run like a little girl. For me it is also about the way they move. They have this creepy wiggly run thing they do that weirds me out. It's an irrational fear and I have tried to get over it - I've touched several different kinds of lizards, even had an iguana set on my shoulder once. But I can only get over it momentarily. As soon as I'm away from them that fear comes right back again.
