My wife was deathly afraid of snakes, untill we got our first BP hatchling, now we are at 8 and counting. Interestingly enough she is very outspoken. With our last visit at our local pet store, Kristy overheard the owner giving bad husbandry information to some young college kids. She walked right up and started explaining how that was wrong and began telling them how to properly care for a BP or a redtail.
Needless to say the owner didnt take to kindly to it and just kept saying his way was fine and that his snakes eat perfectly. My wife was satisfied in knowing that atleast those guys werent misinformed, now I just have to deal with dirty looks whenever I go to buy rats.....le sigh.
