Proof positive...

...that two years of patience, information, and exposure can take a girl who is violently opposed to snakes, and turn her into a herp lover:



When Shan and i met two years ago, she was a borderline ophidiophobe. As you can see in the pic, this is no longer the case. Not only did she willingly hold him, she enjoyed it! She let him give her a 'nose kiss', much to my surprise. I was then holding him a couple of days later, and was going to put him away so i could cook, and she actually volunteered to hold him, instead! She's gone from not wanting to go to Morti's (because there were so many snakes) to agreeing to let me keep my boa, Anton (shown in pic) when we get married. Er, when Shannon and i get married, that is. I love my boa, just not that much.

Now, if i can just get her to let me get Anton a girlfriend and start breeding them...

Now that you've gotten her over the fear of the snakes you need to work on her feelings about the rats [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

Way to go Sam! Once people break through and start handling them they always realize what they have been missing.
