I'm down to 1 glove... And finally with pics!

[STORMS]

Sounds like you should have got them out last night with no gloves. A little alcohol can go a long way in relieving your fear of snakes.

Last night I was definitely in NO condition to hold anything, I could barely hold myself. Good times I actually took a couple shots before I held them the 1st time. I'm way less nervous around them now and no longer use the gloves - they have been retired

I just wanted to post a few more pics that weren't worthy of a new thread. So here they are... (no gloves of coarse - I'm so over that!)




Sorry if the pics are fuzzy, my camera is crap

Congrats! I know howhard it can be for people to get over their fears- my aunt will NEVER get over her's of snakes, bu she's not as bad. When I first got them she wouldent even come in the ouse, where as now she'll even come into the the same room as them and once she even took a glimpse!! But only for a second, through the glass before she freaked out. lol.

Congrats Lena. It looks like you're making very good progress. Are you feeling more relaxed with handling?

I never want to put the baby girl down! Love her! The male on the other hand well he's a little nippy (he's in the top pic) and I don't like handling him. I do just for short periods of time - he ends up striking at me every time. I think that's his personality and I just have to accept it. Still working on him.

My mom is that way - she won't come to the side of the house where the snakes are. And if they are out she won't come over. At least now she calls first

Does he still strike after you get him out?

Kudos to you girl! I'm sure you'll win your boy over sooner or later too.

Lol, one glove, that is pretty funny. I have never used a glove for snakes, but have to admit, I used to for rats. I use a snake hook to get my snakes out of their tubs. Once they are out they usually are much calmer. BTW, nice looking snake you have there. Once you feel more comfortable, lets see some more pics!!

Yup, he sure does. He's a devil once I get him out. Have no idea why, I figure he'll have to get over it soooner or later.
