    My grandma went from "Get out of my yard" to "Go get Ruby out so she can get some exercise" in a matter of a couple months. Once people get to see the true beauty in them, they usually fall in love

    I know you how you feel!

    My mom snake-sat for me last weekend because I was going out of town. She went from thinking the same - that Panndor would be slimy and cold and aggressive - to being able to hold and stroke him. She seemed so surprised at first that he was so soft and gentle. It is nice when you can pull someone out of that mindset. A fear of ALL snakes is ingrained in a lot of people from a young age.

    i kept a northern albino pine over the summer a few years ago and my mom wouldn't come within 10 feet of me if i had that snake out. now she'll take my bp out and hold her and cuddle her like a baby. she even calls it her grand snake child...talk about change!
