she just has a general dislike for them rspeacially their ovements

Well, it could be worse.

I think just getting her exposed to snakes is the best thing to do here. In general, I would go for smaller snakes but not so small that they are squirmy. Small, fast, and squirmy things tend to put people off too.

BP's are great for winning people over beause there are very good looking and laid back. However, an adult might be a bit intimidating. if you could get her to touch or hold a juvenile between 2 and 3 feet that would be a great step!

Are any your parents afraid of snakes? That could be a reason. OT: The first time I saw Maver (my checkered Garter) eat a worm was certainly something to remember. I was so fascinated of how he does it. I also witnessed him shedding his skin. It sort of looks like another snake coming out of his body.

i feel like my mum is trying to make me think she still dont like them because i got 1 for christmas but i dont want to get too excited just to have me hope shattered

Tonight, I was cleaning out Dakota's enclosure and I put him in a box to wait until I was finished. I went about the job of cleaning everything and began to set up his enclosure. When I turned around, just his head was sticking out of the top of the box, watching the world - it was a very cute snake moment.
