I'm okay with them now - although I'm still scared of them - don't ask me why, I just am. I very rarely handle the snakes. The rats are my pets.

For over 10 years I've been telling my husband 'No'. But, I finally gave in when this Reptile Store opened a few miles from the house and I saw how kids were holding the snakes without a problem.
This is a good point. I breed gerbils for feeders and my partner has accepted them. She will check on them if she sees I haven't yet around their bed time. She is interested in the colors I am breeding and will tell me what order they need to be fed off in. She picks who gets to be the future breeders. For the most part she gets her way with the gerbils unless there is a good reason not to do it her way. In those cases I explain what my thoughts are and she understands. Only time will tell. Be thankful you have a daughter that is interested.
