    I would try to get familiar with them first. Do you know anyone with a snake or gecko/lizard? If you do try to get to know their pet and once you become comfortable get one for your home.

    Honestly, although I'd wanted a snake since I was as young as 12years old, I was always a little leery of them. As I got older I would hold snakes at pet expos and belonging to friends. Eventually, I got comfortable holding them. Now, I have no fear of being bit or picking mine up directly out of their enclosures. When I got my first bp, I used a snake hook to pick it up out of the tank and sat down while holding it (in case I freaked and it fell). The snake became more relaxed with me, and as I got to know its body language and attitude, it's become as easy as holding a puppy. Lol
    ...tiny lizards still freak me out...they just jump and move too quickly for my comfort.

    Does my snack love me?
    How long do snacks live?
    Which snacks are dangerous?
    What do snacks eat?

    Making fun of someone's post is not a way to make them feel welcome. He or she is new to the forum. They misspelled the word multiple times. English is possibly not their first language.

    I don't think this was making fun of the person making the post. It is clear that English is not their first language. I believe this was just a great way to pull some laughs. I was thinking something similar when I read the first post, but my reply wouldn't have been nearly as great.

    I am still laughing!

    Hmm.. it may not have been intentional. All I know is if I spoke a second language and made an effort to reach out to those who were fluent in the language, only to have them joke about spelling errors rather than address the question/concern, I'd be a bit saddened. Maybe that's just me..
    Don't take this the wrong way, I don't mean to call anyone out or anger anyone.. just hoping maybe it hadn't been thought through how the OP could possibly take the joking.
