Absolutely- baby steps!! And what a great way to become comfortable with snakes; royal pythons are great teachers!!! Because you are hyper-attentive, you'll learn how to read their body signals and will more than likely turn out to be the best snake keeper in your family!!
Just keep challenging yourself to pick up each snake every day. While anything with teeth can bite, royal pythons are so mellow and gentle that they seldom do. Remember that just because they are bending their neck does not mean that they want to eat you for their lunch!!! They are probably and more than likely just bending their neck!! You will know when they are asking to be left alone!
Everyone on this forum is very proud of you, and all people who have, or are in the process of, overcoming irrational fears of snakes. Bravo and kudos to you!!
Please post a picture of you holding one of your beautiful snakes when you get there!!! You rock!!!![]()
