Authors' Note:
ophidiophobia: an extrem or incapacitating fear of snakes
herpetophobia: a similar anxiety disorder extending to all reptiles
The reptilian suborder Serpentes was previously known as Ophidia, a term derived from ophis, Greek for 'snake'.
You can review photos and illustrated herpetologic verses in a wider context by proceeding to 'Verses about Reptiles (don't worry! no snake-photos!)' on the full-service blog "Edifying Nonsense".
