Sweet! Definitely keep him around.

My BF wasn't exactly scared of snakes when I first got Nagini, but he certainly didn't like them. That was six months ago. Now, I have four snakes and he loves helping me out by holding the corns while I clean their cages. He's still a bit nervous around Nagini, but even that's fading.

I think snakes are just so personable and beautiful that, when exposed to them all the time, even those afraid of them will start to loosen up.
