Ophidiophobia

A man, tied to a cliff, cowers at a snake menacing at him from inches away.
The Punishment of Loki by J. Doyle Penrose

Ophidiophobia (/əˌfɪdioʊˈfoʊbiə/), or ophiophobia (/ˌoʊfioʊˈfoʊbiə/), is fear of snakes. It is sometimes called by the more general term herpetophobia, fear of reptiles. The word comes from the Greek words "ophis" (ὄφις), snake, and "phobia" (φοβία) meaning fear.[1]
