Another common phobia thanks to Reptile & Creepy Insect based Hollywood Movies. Animal Planet plays a huge role in helping us understand Reptiles better. This also helps decreases our fears. The TV Show called 'Fear Factor' almost always has some stunts relating to Reptiles or Creepy, Crawly Things showcased for it's viewers in their challeneges.

This phobia is generally caused by learning based on the Pavlov's Experiement Principle. The more one sees a Reptile the more it expects it to harm us based on learning gathered from Hollywood Flicks, Books & Websites online wherein Reptiles usually attack Humans on first sight. People who suffer from symptoms of this phobia generally shiver, tremble & have severe panic attacks based on the degree of this phobia in them. This phobia is always associated with 'Fear of Snakes' & 'Fear of Spiders'.
