He knows how large she’s going to get but through the time and consistently handling her as she grows, it’s become easier as an adaptation to the realization of how big she’s going to get. It truly depends of the individual and their comfort level and confidence and willingness to adapt/acceptance imo.

    Thanks, man. When/if the time comes I'll definitely be starting with a juvenile so she can develop a trust while the snake grows. She's certainly showed willingness to adapt and accept, I just don't want to push too far. She's come a long way, and I'm happy she's put the majority of her fears behind her as well as grateful she's been willing to step outside her comfort zone to support me and my passion.
    I'm glad your hubby has come around too! It's always more fun when you can enjoy things together!!
