My hubby said, "why on earth would you want a snake???" when I first asked him about it. I've owned reptiles for years but didn't have any while I was in college and when we'd met. So I already had the "love" and I knew perfectly well why I wanted a BP. But how do you explain "why"?? He wasn't afraid of them, but he figured they'd "just lay there" and we had our dogs so why would I want something else to take care of that just lay there??
Well, needless to say, he gave in and I brought home Ella. After 1 week he said to me, "I never guessed they were so interesting!" He would watch Ella in her cage and she'd come up to the glass every time to say hi and after the 2nd feeding, after she'd nailed me good after missing the mouse, and after he saw my hand dripping blood and a hungry ball nom-nom'ing my finger, he was asking to feed her himself!!!!
Now we have Peaches, our baby columbian boa, and I never get to hold her - he always has her! And he's getting her a boyfriend for Christmas... Yeah... He's got it bad...
