I spent probably two years trying to convince my hubby that we needed a snake. He is Irish (first gen) and was petrified of even the idea. We had a rather large king snake in our barn and the first time he actually saw it he ran so fast I thought he'd have a heart attack. Of course I had no sympathy and laughed Til I cried. Anyway I've ways wanted a snake...I decided a little corn snake would be a great introduction for Steve. Except I can't own them in GA. I only discovered this after months of reading and research, when I tried to buy on I was devastated.
Then one day Steve wandered into a small exotic pet store run by a local good Herp breeder that happened to be next door to his favorite gun store. He was still wary and I was to do all the handling but got agreement to buy a BP. A few weeks later the breeder called and said he'd had a bunch of babies born and come choose one. So I chose Preciousess. She was a "fancy" one, a Fire but I didn't understand all that and she just looked normal to me. It took Steve about a month to finally touch her. I think now he is more in love then me if possible!!
Friends said the usual but I'm pretty thick skinned and said love me, love my horses, donkey, mule, goats, dogs, cats and my snakes...and two mice from failed feedings we've kept as pets.
