Hmmmm I have stories about both
When I was in 3rd grade I had a teacher who loved garter snakes. I remember her coming into the classroom with one larger one around her neck like a necklace and one around each wrist like bracelets. I loved it.
But I also had nightmares for years about snakes dozens of snakes all curled and slithering over each other yuck
Spiders on the other hand are... well I prefer them larger - I would love a pet tarantula - so nice and furry and cute
It's those scary spiders that drop out of nowhere that scare me. After I was married to the JW we lived in a basement apartment of his parents house. The area was fairly new so a lot of untouched property and the spiders would find their way inside - big black scary spiders. One night I was turning down the bedcovers and I saw this huge spiders go flying off the bed and across the room. I yelled and his parents ran to the top of the stairs and started yelling for my husband. His father was about to run down the stairs to stop him from beating me. He never laid a hand on me in all our fifteen years but for some reason his parents thought he would.
Oh yeah this is about spiders and snakes Wasn't there an old song abvout those?

I remember when Mary Lou said she wanted to walk me home from school
Well I said yes I do
She said I don't have to go right home
And I would kinda like to be alone some if you would
I said me too
And so we took a stroll and wound up down by the swimming hole
And she said do what you want to do
Got silly and found a frog in the water by the hollow log
And I shook it at her and I said this frog's for you, she said
I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you
I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you
Well I took out that girl from time to time, I called her up when I got a dime
I said hello baby, she said ain't you cool
Said do you remember when, and would you like to get together again
She said I'll see you after school
I was so shy and so for awhile most of my love was touch and smile
So she said come on over here, I was nervous I guess
Still looking for something to slip down her dress
And she said let's make it perfectly clear
I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you
I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you
