^^ agreed with all of them. mine have helped many people get over their fear of snakes with my bp's by letting them come to me in their own time, that is key.

When I got my first one, my gf at the time was afraid of them and she got over the fear and fell in love with them by the end of the next day after I brought him home. She held him for a few SECONDS at the store when I got him then held him for about a minute the next day before work, when we got home that night she eagerly asked to hold him again and admitted she looked forward to holding him again the entire day.
