Yeah...

I'd say the range of my wanted male snake is 6-15 feet, BUT my dad isn't so much scared of my 25" bp, but his heart rate goes up when that 25" bp stretches out and starts crawling towards him! LOL. Any tips for helping him get over his fear, thus allowing me to get a gentle giant snake? I've already tried logic, I guess he just needs to handle one and see that they're not scary or USUALLY not dangerous.

you might need to just let him get used to the ball for a while. See retics are alot faster and more curious then ball pythons and sometimes they move so quickly it does make you jump. Ive had oskar come at my face so fast I thought he was striking but he was just trying to figure out what I was doing. I mean you can try to get him to handle a large snake but it may just frighten him even more. A great starter snake that doesnt get as big as giants is redtails they still get a decent size with some good girth but they are still managable. But im free monday and tuesday if you guys want to drive down and he can handle a giant if he feels comfortable with it. If not I have plenty of baby burms and a baby retic.

Yeah, retics would definitely scare him and might make me nervous! Monday is fine with us. He still doesn't feel totally comfortable with driving to a stranger's house, but I'm pretty sure he'll do it! What's your address, we can plug it in to the GPS?
