Ophidiophobia—a fear of snakes, is one of the most common phobias. Whether or not the sight of a slithering serpent sends you screaming in terror, snakes are a popular theme on Trend Hunter. We’ve seen snakes as security guards and snake inspired jewelry, handbags and footwear. There have been slick ‘snakevertisments’, and high-tech robot snakes. There have even been snakes at the spa with snake massages and snake venom being used to stay young. In the home there is a slinky desk lamp that looks like a cobra and a trendy heated snake rug that wraps you up Python style. Take a peek at all these cool snake inspired innovations from Trend Hunter. Via: trendhunter |
