    Re: Snake moments

    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!

    Re: Snake moments

    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.

    My snakes:
    0.1 Kenyan Sand Boa ~Nephthys~ (aka "Linky")

    In a better place:
    1.0 Pastel Western Hognose ~Charon~ 10/3/07-4/24/09

    If you need/want to know anything about Hognose snakes, just ask me.

    Re: Snake moments

    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.
