I have achieved the impossible.

When I got my first snake, it was a baby corn snake, just about a month ago.
My mom is terrified of snakes, but she was ok with it because it was a baby, and not very large in size.
But, predictably enough, I was HOOKED on snakes, and went out and bought a ball python on a super sale at Petco.
...my mom was terrified of the thing, and wouldn't go anywhere near it. When we had him out to play with him, we had to cover his head when she walked by (his head freaked her out).
In fact, her first words when she saw Nergal was, "That thing is flipping scary!"
So, I went to NW seed and pet, a local pet store, and bought a small book on Ball pythons. I brought it home and left it in the bathroom by accident (I had been reading it while taking a bath).
This morning, my mom comes out of the bathroom and throws the book in front of me on the table, and she said--I kid you not!!--
"I like the stupid yellow ones. They're really cute."
AAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe it! She loves the bees, just like me, and especially Yellowbellies, Mojaves, Lemonblasts, Albinos, anything with lots of yellow.
She even touched Nergal's head a few days ago.
Unbelievable.
This might seem like no small feat, but you don't know my awesome mom. (:
(Next, I'm going to get her to join the BP.net forums )
She also said she hopes someday we could have baby killer bee BP's. YES!!!
Best. Mom. Ever.
I freaking adore ball pythons. They are the best pet ever.
