Somewhere into a nine year relationship, I found...suddenly...that I just had to own a snake (probably several). BF knew going into it that I'm a farm gal, and has been very tolerant of the chickens, rabbits, goats, and dogs. He didn't bargain for this, so I do feel for him.

He does not want one in the house. I have actually considered buying a separate building in town for this, but it would take ALL my savings (and, probably then some - just not realistic at this time).

As we all know the Internet is crammed with thousands of photos of gorgeous snakes. I show him lovely examples daily, yet he remains absolutely unmoved by all that beauty. Yesterday, I found the loveliest - perhaps ever - locality SC corn snake on the site of a well established breeder (apparently she is still available), and she is even at an affordable price. Yet, I must pass her up! Grrr.

Any tips for eventually bringing the guy around?
