I'm kind of in the same boat. My husband doesn't really care for snakes. In fact, not too long ago he even admitted that he used to be scared of snakes, even while I had them and that he "got over it" to make me happy. He now allows me to keep whatever reptiles I choose, but he doesn't like to really help out and doesn't care about all the "cool new morphs" and info I find on reptiles.

If your wife is not comfortable with snakes or other reptiles, I'd be careful about bringing them into the house. While I don't think your wife would do anything to harm the snakes, you also don't want to make her uncomfortable. My husband knows where the snakes are, how many I'm breeding, and he's comfortable with that, and has even held a few on occasion, but for the most part, he doesn't want anything to do with them. If you wife can be in a similar situation where she is comfortable about them being in the house as long as you don't chase her around the house with them, then you should be fine. If she can get to the point of liking them, even better.

But it may come to a point where you realize she is never going to have a interest in reptiles like you have. Heck you are actually doing better than I am. If I ask my husband to come to a show with me, he gives me this face and says "Do I have to?" and usually ends up finding something else to occupy his time while I go with friends.
