I went thrue this with my wife a few years ago,Try to educate her on feeding,and husbrentry.get her involved with your day to day with the snake.When me and my wife first got togeather she was terified of snakes.now looking after my collection is a joint effort. She went from not going in the snake room to owning 7 of her own in 4 years.most people are scared of snakes due to lack of knolage.maybe get a corn than work her up from there
