I used to catch garters (and release after a minute or two) ever since I was in middle school so I've been fascinated by snakes for a while but never imagined I would have one as a pet. The first few times that I handled my ball python I was afraid that she would bite me. Over time I got more comfortable and the fear quickly went away. Now it's been over two years and she has never bitten anyone.
I'm more afraid of my dwarf hamster than I am of most snakes!
