I would really love to have one of these guys, but my wife is still skittish around snakes. I keep taking her to reptile shows and exotic pet stores (which I'm not fond of, just gives her a chance to see some) and showing her some of these guys. She does love the colors and patterns and I think as my BP grows in size she will see the older ones will tend to be more docile that the little ones. I'm not pushing her, just hoping she will come around. Repticon will be here in July and that will be another opportunity to work on her a little!!! Wish me luck!!!
