Yeah, I do give my mom a lot of credit because she at least is willing to admit that just because SHE is grossed out by snakes, I don't have to be. She has said, "I'm not AFRAID of them, I just don't LIKE them!" I showed her my adorable little BP when I first got her and my snake looked at her with tongue flicking and my mom said to her, "Ewe, you are disgusting and I don't like you."
She does, however, admit that my snake is very pretty and "would make a nice belt." She's just playfully pushing my buttons, but at least she can recognize that it's a pretty animal, even if she wants nothing to do with it. Honestly, that is all I expect from people who aren't into snakes. Just appreciate their right to exist, you don't have to like them.
