Is she willing to meet a snake in person? I've shared my calm snakes with many people who thought they'd never in their life touch one, much less like and
want to hold one. I think seeing is believing for most people. When I handle my snakes they stay calm with everyone they meet thereafter, but I have to say
that if most of the people who meet them actually saw how they pounce on their (dead) prey at home, they'd probably never get near them, LOL.
I like to explain to people how snakes are deaf, near-sighted & actually quite shy & vulnerable. That they have a great sense of smell (they recognize us with)
and also know by how we touch & hold them that we aren't predators attacking them. And, that snakes do learn & remember our gentle treatment, and we are
NOT on their "menu" (they're fussy eaters, unless you're talking about giant snakes). You'd be surprised at how little the average person knows about real snakes-
it's quite a relief to find out that snakes are fussy eaters, lol.
