So some of you may know that my 84 year old mother lives with us. (yes sometimes I need to drink heavily...lol) Anyways....she LOVES the lizards talks to them all the time, will hold them, refers to herself as grandma and has a genunie concern for them. In fact she is down right mean if someone is not acting accordingly around the lizards...
She does NOT like the snakes at all. She will stand outside the door of their room and look but no touch. Now keep in mind she is the one that started this whole BP thing by buying my son his first snake. Well today I had to clean out cages as they all just made a huge mess last night. So I got a big comfy chair and she walked by and I asked her to help. At first she was NO WAY!! I showed her the chair I got her and she finally gave in. She sat there for 20 minutes holding each snake while I cleaned and talked to them the whole time. The funniest part.... she was telling them...and I quote "now now stop moving around....hey...grandma said to stop moving so much, I think your going to eat me".
woohoooo....I think she finally likes them. She was telling them how pretty grandma thought they were and how soft grandma thought they were.
ahhhhhh....ok...I feel accomplished!!
