Since posting that I will get my first snake in a week or two, my wife has said she will talk about possibl letting me get a ball python in October or November and then maybe even a RTB in less than two years. She is terrified of snakes, but seems to want to get over that fear. I can't believe it! Maybe her fear is reduced when she sees me calmly holding a snake, then sees me scream at a small spider. lol
