Christa, Indiana Jones share phobia

Christa Hazel Facebooks:

Confession time: I am snake phobic. And by phobic I mean unhealthy peel me off the roof while wiping away adrenaline tears nutso phobic. We've had a few garter snakes appear at the cabin and it's now me or them. There is snake repellent for sale and I've been trying to buy it for three weeks but couldn't. Why? Because these manufacturers have to put damn snakes on the label. I couldn't bring myself to buy it. Thank goodness for Amazon, directed delivery to my husband in a closed box, a daughter who understands me, and the magic of duct tape. I can now take control of destiny.

Question: Are you a snake phobic, too?
