Grew up with a parent that was terrified of snakes (father, not mother) and so even though I had lizards and turtles and and fish and birds and several types of mammals, snakes were forbidden. What with one thing and another, I never managed to acquire a snake until I was 61, and watching YouTube Videos finally prompted me to pull the trigger on a little boa. He is the neatest thing, and my 95 year old mother was so amazed to find out what they are really like that she doesn't flinch when I bring in snakes from the yard and plop them in her lap, lol. Spotticus is almost 5 and he still amazes me.
This is so heartwarming - there's always time to learn something new!
