Obnoxious newbie questions.

[Rob]

I was wondering, Rob, in what circumstances you held your first snake? Like did you have to pick it up? Were you nervous? And how long from that point did you own a snake?

I see what your trying to do here lol. Sorry to disappoint you, I was very young maybe 8 or so I would catch garter snakes in my back yard. I never had a fear of snakes, guess it wasnt in me. I still stand behind what I said. Was it a little too harsh, yes that's not my normal approuch. But I don't think people should own an animal they fear. If you want a snake test the waters handle one at the pet store or a friends and prove to yourself that you can become comfortable with the animal before you make the commitment.
