I brought a friend along to pick my BP up and she refused to hold her even touch her because she feared snakes, she just came along to make sure I was safe, as I was getting lola from a craigslist seller. I did not shove lola (my BP) in her face, but by the end of the car ride my friend had lola around her neck and my friend was talking to her like she would talk to any other pet. That was just amazig for me.
