Buzzzzz wrong. I've always liked reptiles and loved going to places like Florida as a kid because I could catch them. I also had a pet salamander (yes its not a reptile, close enough). I used to annoy my mother bringing snakes home. No one taught me to be unafraid of reptiles, I never was.
Now my child is 18 months old and is starting to get a fear of strangers to a limited degree. Suddenly he is shy and stays close to mom when in a new place. No stranger has done anything bad to him, hes only been hurt when he does it to himself, but already he knows you don't trust someone the first second you meet them.
