Fear with snacks

Hello dear i recently joined this forum and i love this forum because i like animals but i feel some fear from animals like snack and lizards so what should i do for finish my fear because i want to make a warm house in my home. Please help me friends.

get a small snake like a kingsnake or small lizard like an anole and waatch it play with it until u become comfortable with it. I was afraid of tarantulaas so i went and caught 1 in the wild and after a few months i was holding it

I would try to get familiar with them first. Do you know anyone with a snake or gecko/lizard? If you do try to get to know their pet and once you become comfortable get one for your home.

Never fear the snack my friend. start small with some chips then work your way up to a pizza.but never fear the snack!:P

Honestly, although I'd wanted a snake since I was as young as 12years old, I was always a little leery of them. As I got older I would hold snakes at pet expos and belonging to friends. Eventually, I got comfortable holding them. Now, I have no fear of being bit or picking mine up directly out of their enclosures. When I got my first bp, I used a snake hook to pick it up out of the tank and sat down while holding it (in case I freaked and it fell). The snake became more relaxed with me, and as I got to know its body language and attitude, it's become as easy as holding a puppy. Lol
...tiny lizards still freak me out...they just jump and move too quickly for my comfort. :rofl:

Making fun of someone's post is not a way to make them feel welcome. He or she is new to the forum. They misspelled the word multiple times. English is possibly not their first language.

I don't think this was making fun of the person making the post. It is clear that English is not their first language. I believe this was just a great way to pull some laughs. I was thinking something similar when I read the first post, but my reply wouldn't have been nearly as great.

I am still laughing! :rofl:

Hmm.. it may not have been intentional. All I know is if I spoke a second language and made an effort to reach out to those who were fluent in the language, only to have them joke about spelling errors rather than address the question/concern, I'd be a bit saddened. Maybe that's just me..
Don't take this the wrong way, I don't mean to call anyone out or anger anyone.. just hoping maybe it hadn't been thought through how the OP could possibly take the joking. :oops:

I guess we all have a different sense of humor.

If I was posting on a site from another country, and someone replied to me in jest about some spelling errors, I would love it!

There is a difference between having fun WITH someone and making fun OF someone. I read it all in good taste.

No worries :)

I feel you spelling pain. I am typing on a nook and iI can't get used to this Keyboard!

That being said I used to be somewhat feearful of snakes myself. Until I let my husband get a baby ball python. It was just a pet store normal butI really found I enjoyed watching her. Then she went off feed for 3 Weeks! I find it is hard to be afraid of something you are worried about. She ended up being fine however due to situattion out of our control we could not keep her.

I found I missed having her as much as he did and when we got to were we could have another, I insisted on having one of my own. Fear is usually based on the unknown, and myths.

I used to be very afraid of snakes and lizards before I started out with owning ball pythons. I actually started out with a garter snake for a pet and got used to being around a snake. I then fell in love with ball pythons and after I acquired my first one I just had to have more.

Yes I was just having some fun with the way snakes was spelled.so I used an analogy to offer some advice.

Snacks=snakes
Start small with some chips=small snakes.
work your way up to a pizza=large snakes.

It was all in fun.:)

You might also get in touch with your local herpetological society and talk to them about educating yourself on snakes and getting over your fears. This way, you may be able to have contact with them in the presence of an experienced owner and you won't end up with a pet you may or may not be able to handle.

If I may add... Find a local herp forum, people in your area. From there, you may find someone who lives close enough to let you see and hold some of their docile snakes.
