My 83 year old mother got me into this as she bought my son our first python for his B-day. With that being said she would not even touch her at first. Now shes "grandma"....lol and they "pop their head out to visit her"...lol. OK..mom! Anyways...I work with kids and 99% of them think it is cool....the other ones are scared and then come around. I have taken one into school before and they are so excited and into it....so are the teachers. Then I have my peers that think I am crazy...lol. Once they meet our BP ambassador Elizabeth...they change their minds. Now I don't think they are going to run out and get a snake...but they aren't scared anymore. One of them thinks that my snakes are "relaxing" and help them calm down...lol. So when she has a really bad day she comes over and asks to hold one....![]()
