I get having fears but this is just... WOW

[Ax01]

she was in fight or flight mode. happens to lotsa peeps when they're confronted by their fear and she chose to flee. it's primal and irrational. they just need to be eased into it. i've seen the same happen to police officers who come into home w/ snakes and lizards lol.

If the snake isn't visible how is that being confronted by their fear? Also as I've said her job wasn't in the living room it was in the bathroom she didn't wanna be here to be begin with!

it's the same reason why some don't wanna go swimming in the ocean even when they don't see a shark.

That's not a good comparison considering sharks can easily come into contact with a person swimming without being seen beforehand vs a ball python locked in a cage they can't escape from. Also if I were that afraid of snakes I would have asked before I even entered the house she called me last night to let me know she was coming today and called me again today to verify my address one of those times would have been the perfect opportunity to say "by the way you don't own any snakes do you because I can't be around them" also I listed all our pets with the service in case of allergies etc and I listed the snake because I figured it was relevant! Btw I'm not arguing and I thank you for your input!

but if u can't see the snake in the cage, are u sure it's in there? is it in a hide? or did it get out like last time?: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...a-heart-attack i think you're splitting hairs. also u cannot expect her to ask those questions if u didn't think she was a good nurse/employee in the first place.

anyways i made a sign for us herpers. have a cookie and be sure to hang this up in your house:
