I never let heights stop me from being "normal". I hung over the edge of the Eiffel Tower. Only if you saw my white knuckles, would you know what I hid, very well. Same with flying. I usually choose not to, but DO, when I need to. Again, the white knuckles are the giveaway!!!

I adore Snakes! My friend used to have two cute Corn Snakes named Jeremy and Edward before she bought her Chinchillas and they were so sweet. Jeremy used to love suckling on my nose, of all things. But I can see where you would be afraid of them. Some species hardly endear themselves with their whole bitey, hissey, venom thing going on lol. Having said that, I've known people with more venom than your average Taipan. I missed out on a visit to the Eiffell Tower when I went to France years ago, but I'm sure it was spectacular even if you were white knuckle-ing it. I hope you enjoyed it. And I havn't flown often. My first flight was around three years ago when I went to Graceland with my Dad (we had four flights in all because there were two connected there from Manchester to Atlanta to Memphis, and backtracked back to Manchester after two weeks) and I thought I would be petrified as I had been having nightmares before hand about the whole "Nothing underneath you" business. But I absolutely laughed my ass off with adrenaline when we were taking off and landing. And during the connector to Memphis, while everybody else aboard was terrified as we were flying through a lightning storm that occasionally struck the plane itself, I was casually catching a few Zeds.

Edit: Whereas I'm not into the whole Snake death thing (very pro animal life and veggie), you saw a challenge and you came up with a solution so kudos
