I've shared these before, but figured this thread merits a re-post.
These were taken this past Father's Day. I had my father, grandfather and brother over to celebrate 3 generations of Frechette fathers.
My niece, who was 2 at the time, had her first snake encounter, but wouldn't quite touch the snakes. She asks about them all the time and says she'll touch one next time. We'll see. She's interested, but I'll let her dictate when she's ready.
She is pictured below checking out Tyson, my BP (he looks so small in that pic!) while my brother holds him and my father keeps his distance (he's not "afraid" just "creeped out" and has no interest.).
The other picture is my 97 year old grandfather holding a snake for the first time. At first he said "hell no" but a minute later said "what the hell, I'm 97 years old, if it eats me let it." Hahahahaha. I explained that a bite would hardly hurt. He laughed and put his hands up to take the snake. He's pictured with Django, my adult Cal King.
Truly one of my favorite days ever. It was an honor to host 3 generations of Frechette fathers at my house and introduce my family to snakes for the first time. The fact it spans 4 generations is extra special. My niece, Riley and Pepere are 95 years apart, but sharing their first snake experience...
I can't wait til next Father's Day.
