My son loves my snake and will "babysit" for me during tub cleaning and such. In other words, he makes sure Jax doesn't slither into trouble while I'm cleaning right by them. Still teaching him the proper way to handle a snake though. His 4 year old brain is just too excited most of the time. My boyfriend is my enabler. He gets excited about feeding time like it's a sports event and begs me not to switch to F/T cause "It won't be exciting anymore." He handles Jax when I have him out and basically whenever I need him to. Annnnnnd, teases me when I drop hints of more snakes but has made it clear that I'm pretty sure my stocking will be trying to slither away this year at Christmas lol. His moto is the more the merrier. Other fam is cool with it minus my dad. Poor guy is deathly afraid and even with his macho man act, his screams like a little girl when he sees one. He's okay with me owning them though as long as I keep them in their homes when he's over.
