My wife has been and still is completely scared of snakes. She even hates to see worms because they look like small snakes to her because snakes give her the heebie jeebies...no joke. However, she loves our ball pythons almost as much as me. She takes care of them when I'm not there, helps with stuck sheds on the few times it has happened, helps me feed them, changes their substrate and water when needed. BPs are pretty docile animals and once you are around them they are very hard to hate. Here is a pic she took of herself with HER pinstripe and letting my pastel hang out with her:
