Sounds like us! I was petrified of snakes until I was 18. I worked with a particularly lovely Ball Python at college and I was turned. I really respect and am proud of my partner for conquering his fear, because I understand it is difficult, and really throwing himself into the world of reptiles! There are a couple of people at his work (one of whom helped me get him over his worries) he can talk to now, so I have just said to ignore the ignorant comments people make and talk to the people who make him feel good about it. Just don't get why people think a snake is a waste of money just because they're supposedly not a "conventional" pet, and why they have to criticise my choices... Don't want a dog cheers! I get out of Pretzel and Pringle everything I imagined from a snake and a LOT more! Lol!
