I know this topic has been covered many times. looking to start up a conversation for potential ideas.

So I started dating someone lately, she is great and is supportive of everything i do. Accept she is super scare of snakes and rats, both of which i keep in the house. she is scare of snakes to the point where she will faint if she sees one.

She knows that I keep my snakes in my room, and she does her best to try and avoid that part of my room.

What is the best way to go about introducing snakes in a friendly manner to someone that is on the most extreme end of snake phobia? I keep ball pythons and a carpet python, i know my semi aggressive carpet python will scare the beejuzus out of her however i'm 100% confident my ball pythons will be good snake ambassador, however how can i get her to over come her fear to just even look at it?


I have plan to breed my snake too, she won't be too happy about it but she is not going to stop me. Does anyone here live with their SO that is not into snakes or is scare of it? How do you guys deal with it? it is possible to change their view with gentle guidance? if their views can't be change, how do you guys deal with sharing living space together with snakes and snake fearing SO?

some insight from more experience members here would be greatly appreciated
