What you do and/or keep in the privacy of your own home is your business. My mother strongly dislikes them too, she says she only appreciates their beauty but nothing else. She detests the fact that they constrict their prey and she compares them to Satan in the garden with Eve (old-minded Southern thinking lol). I try to explain to her that it was not the poor snake's fault that the devil happened to choose that form.
My mom tried to pull that to until I politely reminded her that woman was also the tool of the devil to tempt man..So where does that leave them..
