She was speechless as it all made perfect sense to her.. Then went on to admit shes more afraid of having the snakes dinner get loose then having the snake itself get out..

Next thing u know shes holding her and taking pix to show her friends at work..

I really think that there's a big lack of understanding by a lot of ppl that haven't ever actually had the opportunity to realize how calm and sweet these creatures can be

Thats awesome! I wish my mom was that open.. She has had the opportunity to hold my snakes before, but surprisingly only my grandmother was brave enough to hold one! I was really happy that she was willing to :)

They really are misunderstood. Especially ball pythons. They are so sweet and gentle! I think some people just cant get around the cold blood and lack of legs :P
