When I lived at home my mom wouldn't let me even bring them into the house, then I moved out and naturally had some in my house soon after. It was quite funny watching her come in the house and instantly scan the ground for snakes lol. Go forward 2 years later, we ended up getting a baby pastel hypo, I showed my mom when she was over and she asked if she could hold it.... I was amazed. Now he is full grown and she will go drag that same snake out of the cage to hold lol. Still the only snake she holds but she loves him.
So you never know, she might come around, I never thought my mom would. It was a slow process, but now I have to tell her to leave him alone when he's breeding lol.
