Congratulations! I had pet rodents of all kinds when I was younger, so my hesitation about snakes was being able to feed them for a very different reason.

We're all different though...I can recall one person who surrendered their unwanted BP to me after losing interest actually admitted that the only reason he wanted
a snake was because he HATED rodents & loved to watch the snake killing them...

It's usually a positive thing to overcome our hang-ups & learn new things, even if it takes a while. We're all capable of much more than we think.
