Your mom makes an excellent snake-model, relaxed & all that.

So cool that your Mom enjoys your reptiles. My Mom came around after a number of years, slowly getting used to my snakes. The final leap was caused by her falling in love with a baby albino burmese at a local show. We had her for 16 years.

My mom is good with Shayna (BP), the two Boas, and Solana (Scaleless corn), as all are chill as can be.

Figment (Corn) and Yafe (Carpet Python) make her nervous because they can either move fast or be sort of darty. However, she holds all the snakes.

She prefers slower moving animals that appear more deliberate in their actions.

She was petrified of snakes for 30 years after a snake darted over her foot (I think a black rat snake or easter water snake) when she was 10 after stepping by a leaf pile. She had not been afraid before or been afraid since I she was about 40 and I got a BP. I think the darty movements trigger her a little bit.

I took her to the local reptile store as we went out to dinner and it was near there and I needed gecko food. She saw, Sunny, the 13FT male albino burmese. She wasn't scared too bad, but said, "NOPE." I think he's a puppy dog, but still, way too much snake for me too. That doesn't stop me from playing with him from time to time.
