Re: Scaring aunt with my ball python!!
I didn't find that funny either.....some people are deathly afraid of snakes.When I'm aware of those folks, I keep my snakes out of sight, to respect their feelings. It possible people like her are the ones who who may feel we shouldn't have them as pets. And little stunts like that make it just a wee bit tougher to get people to assist us in our rights to keep our pets.

Re: Scaring aunt with my ball python!!
Seeing it from both points of view here...I did chuckle a little bit, but I feel sorry for your aunt! If I were her and I had a fear like that, I would have slapped you square across the face after that. And you would have deserved it! There are just some things you leave alone.

Yea the person holding the snake was her daughter. LOL i was not even filming.
If i where present i would not have let it go down for 2 reasons.
1) my snake could have gotten hurt.
2) I dont like messing with peoples fears.
But hey since it did already happen what can you do.

Most things that you see in TV and such that are funny are not meant to be funny... Don't jump the gun on the OP. I'm sure everyone has seen their share of America's Funniest Videos and worse than that, those kind of things are not planned ahead.

Yes, but scaring her aunt was planned by someone who knew she was afraid of snakes. And then posting it on Youtube just further goes to put a negative spin on snake keepers.

Yes I agree don't get me wrong, but she did not did it. Like she said, what's done is done. What is she suppose to do now? Go back in time and change it? She cant do that.

Re: Scaring aunt with my ball python!!
By the way ima male 
I was not even there when this took place.
O and also her daughter (one holding the snake in the video) did not know her mom had a fear of snakes so she was kinda caught off guard.
