If you're afraid of reptiles, bugs, or rodents, can you say why?
I'm not going to lie, I do side eye people are are afraid of many reptiles and rodents, but that's partly because I'll hear horrible stories from some people who hate reptiles about the ways they've killed poor snakes that've crossed their paths.
If you're afraid of them, where do you live? Do you spend much time outside?

Re: Fear of reptiles/bugs/rodents
I have a major snake phobia, or anything that moves like a snake (eels, worms - though they don't bother me much and are easy to ignore). It's so bad that I can't even see one move on tv, a book, a magazine, etc.

I have a super major snake phobia. I've been terrified of them all my life. I can't even see them on TV. I used to have panic attacks in elementary school when the nature people would bring the snakes in for assemblies.

I am TERRIFIED of roaches. Not the little ones but the big ones we have in the south! AKA, "Palmetto Bugs". No, they are big cockroaches.
If I spot one in our house I will sleep with the lights on and wear ear plugs. I hate them.<
Rodents I don't mind at all. Reptiles aren't my thing, but I'm not afraid of them.
I am terrified of bugs and spiders. I can't explain it. It is irrational. I have no idea where it comes from. But, I have a v

I don't really know why they terrify me, they just do. Spiders are the worst for me. I just can't handle them. Other bugs don't bother me as much. Snakes scare me, but I have never really come in contact with them (knock on wood) so
I don't really have a fear of snakes, it's the element of surprise that gets to me. I wouldn't be bothered by a garden snake or even a black rat snake. A copperhead, though, will get killed if it's on my property. All spiders, centipedes or rodents in
I have zero problem with reptiles and rodents (I've had a snake, a gecko, and rats as pets), but I have a serious bug phobia. As in, I'll go around to the back door if there are moths at the front door. <
