Question

ophidiophobia it is the fear of snakes. this phobia is quite common and often attributed to evolutionary causes, personal experiences, or cultural influences

Answer 1

Indeed. It's a common terminology for one who fears, or is petrified in the presence of snakes. In a more general category, this maybe divided into a more detailed subsection that is, fear of reptiles as "herpetophobia". It's derived from the Greek roots of "herpe" and more consistent on "herpetón" as animals which "creep" a.k.a. "Creeping animals or organisms". With a general term of "phobia" that is "fear", added to it. Which in Greek "phóbos", is "fear". A noun term which may also mean: alarm, fright, panic, terror and a more generalised version "fear". Ophidiophobia, where phóbos and ophis, form this term.

Edit:- The Conclusion is that concentrated into a more relative conjunction of "Evolutionary aspects". Stating, evolution increases stimuli interception and deceptions over identification of reptilian characteristics, are easily shown and accessible to get down, by a faster reaction to the stimulus; as in the case of snake. Thus, increasing phobia of those creatures.
