i think the fear is handed down from the past. ask your parents if they are afraid of spiders/snakes... compare the fear with you. my dad is afraid of spiders, my mom is too. my dad is not afraid of snakes, my mom is. i am afraid of spiders but not snakes.
if you are iffy about spiders than it doesnt help to see your parents freak when the tiniest spider comes strolling in through the door. they get the newspaper and smash the thing into oblivion like their life depends on it... of course your'e gonna freak too when you see one.
