Actually, I've got a very strong flinch reflex, and I've come to the conclusion that it is genetic. I am as apt to jerk my hand away if a hatchling corn snake strikes as I am when something far larger and more dangerous strikes. Don't ask me for any scientific references, but I think there is a whole suite of behaviors like this (being ticklish; jumping at the scary parts of movies when something goes, "boo"; being startled when someone comes up behind you unexpectedly) that one is simply born with.
