I was deathly afraid of snakes up until Feb .. all downhill from there
i was kinda scared but not terrified of snakes, when i brought rocky home from the pet store he (and i) were jumpy, i dont think he was ever handled before so it was his first time and it was about my first time handling a snake (my unlce had a milk snake that i held for about two seconds) but now we are very comfortable with eachother
