My Fear of Snakes

The other day I made a list of my fears. Here it is:
Being by myself in the dark
Bees/Wasps
Snakes
Small, confined spaces
Drowning
Suffocating
Freezing to death
Being burned alive
Being strangled to death
Crashing in an airplane
Some of these are very stupid fears, for instance, bees. I have never been stung by a bee and have no reason to be afraid of them, but I am. If somebody can talk me out of this, you are more than welcome to.
Some of these are very rational. I have a very good reason for being afraid of snakes. Once, in the 7th grade, a fat guy with a beard and a bunch of reptiles came to our school. He had a king cobra, and he was bringing it around. He put it ON MY HEAD!!!! I was freaking out, but he said if I moved it would bite me, so I just sort of talked really fast and really loud to the people around me. It was terrifying.
And now you know why I don't like snakes.
