For $60 and shipping, I'll send you a little boa that will melt his heart. Your address and a couple minutes with PayPal, and it'll be on your doorstep in the morning, too late for him to say much.
But seriously -- the dead feeding thing might help some. Beyond that, just take him where snakes are and get him to handle some cute non-threatening one. Lots of people who previously thought they didn't like snakes have changed their minds after handling ours. My wife, in fact, began only tolerating the idea: "Well, if you're really sure that's something you want, it's OK with me. But don't expect me to play with it..." and these days she almost cries each time the UPS truck pulls out and takes another one of our babies away. Her first stop when she gets up in the morning is to wave good morning to one of our boas who habitually greets the day with an interesting pose near the front of his cage. Bottom line -- many snakes are sweet, cute, and nice. Devise ways for him to find this out.
