In fact she is down right mean if someone is not acting accordingly around the lizards...:rolleyes:

She does NOT like the snakes at all. She will stand outside the door of their room and look but no touch. Now keep in mind she is the one that started this whole BP thing by buying my son his first snake. Well today I had to clean out cages as they all just made a huge mess last night. So I got a big comfy chair and she walked by and I asked her to help. At first she was NO WAY!! I showed her the chair I got her and she finally gave in. She sat there for 20 minutes holding each snake while I cleaned and talked to them the whole time. The funniest part.... she was telling them...and I quote "now now stop moving around....hey...grandma said to stop moving so much, I think your going to eat me". :rofl:

woohoooo....I think she finally likes them. She was telling them how pretty grandma thought they were and how soft grandma thought they were.

ahhhhhh....ok...I feel accomplished!!

Now only if i could get my mother to feel that way lol,My mother loves her little (big in the ego)dogs and i love reptiles but my mother is horrified of snakes and would not touch one for dear life lol so hopefully one day i can get her to love them,I wonder how she is going to react ounce i get my Tegu in june and she see he is no 2ft lizard lol :cool:

Great story!!

Congratulations on getting Gramma to hold the babies.

I can just see her telling them to hold still because she thinks they're going to eat her. :)

I'm still hoping to persuade my mom to at least let me bring one to see her when the weather gets warmer. Having grown up in the backcountry, she has an extreme phobia of snakes, and with good reason! She was horrified at the thought I was keeping them for pets??!!:O

I am hoping if I bring her one of the little bitty guys she'll see they aren't that bad.
