I have friends that range from "wwww you have snakes???" to friends that actually own snakes themselves. I have no been able to convince those with irrational fear of snakes to overcome it. however some of my more open minded friends has been brave enough to attempt to hold my bps and the instantly they do my bps generally dispels the monster myths. I find that my calmer bps are more popular with the non snake folks. Especially useful is when ball up and I can explain to my frds handling the snake that they do this because they are scare. This tends to make my frds more interested and less tense.
However I havn't been able to convince my "eww snake" friends to even approach my snakes
