yo momma is BA! and make sure she knows that! most people don't even look at snakes, let alone hold one! her getting out of her comfort zone WITH A SNAKE is more than most people her age can say! she's awesome!!!Originally Posted by dakski
My mother used to be petrified of snakes. Literally couldn't even hear the word without freaking out!
When I was ten years old, she became open to the idea of me having a pet snake as she realized a lot of her fear was based in anxiety and past experiences. She got the point where I was able to have a pet snake when I got older (but was still living in her house) and would happily hold and interact with calm snakes.
She likes all my current pet reptiles. Figment, the corn, moves a little fast for her, but she still holds him, even though it makes her a little nervous. Shayna (the BP) and Behira are both super docile and, for the most part, slow moving, so she loves holding them. She doesn't mind the Leopard Geckos, but isn't crazy about Frank the BTS. She says he looks prehistoric and although he doesn't scare her, and she will pet him, she usually doesn't want to hold him.
Anyway, here are some pictures of my mom with Behira from yesterday:
