Were you ever scared?

Nope, I've always loved snakes. The first moment I remember thinking, "I want a pet snake" was when I was maybe 6-7 years old and I held what I remember as a 10' python. I could barely stand, and the snake trailed its head and tail on the ground, but I was in love.


I grew up absolutely fascinated with all kinds of animals, and would devour any information I could find on whatever animal. I'd pick up 5-6 books on various animals from the library every week, and scour the internet. That perhaps kept me from being scared, plus I didn't have anyone around me that was scared of them.


I did have a few friends and family members start out fearful of them, but everyone that was vocal about it has since turned around after I started spamming photos on FB. haha

Not real sure, I just had myself convinced somehow that I hated it. A few months back I decided to give it a shot, and it turns out that I love it. How I'm trying all different kinds. Don't think I'll be able to get away with doing that with snakes though, but man there are a few...

lol Wish my SO would apply that logic, he refuses to try all kinds of food because he's sure he hates it despite never eating it. Then, if I do successfully convince him to try something, sometimes that stops once attention is brought to it. -.-
