Hi! I really love reptiles and so far have a crested gecko! I plan on getting more and a ball python is one of the ones I am in love with! My parents, dad in particular, think snakes are evil and that God stole their legs... He thinks they are mean and bite at any chance, even though I held one in front of him at a petstore and, surprise surprise, no bites. How can I convince my dad they aren't evil and that they won't strangle me in my sleep? Thanks in advance! (My mom also doesn't want me to be known as a weirdo for having a snake)
