This is so true. I just have my first ball python, but have had my 6+ft boa for a while now. My roommate's friend came over one night. He's around 6'2"-6'4" himself and a marine. (This statement is nothing against the marines, just a comical story about this one) He looks like a big tough guy. Well, I had also decided to take Boots (my boa) out to play and was gonna get my roommate to video him just crawling around on me until she had to make some cheesecakes. So her friend became the lucky person to video tape us just chilling and him crawling around. He wouldn't get within 3 ft of me cause he was scared of Boots. I put Boots down on the carpet and he started crawling towards the guy and he jumped back. It was just too funny, but I wish I had video taped it cause it's funnier if you would have seen it. I'm sure other people have similar stories as well!!
Oh, on a good note though, I did get my mom to hold little Patsy (new @2ft ball python) the other day even though she's deathly afraid of snakes until Patsy came out of her "ball" and started crawling and she handed her back quickly![]()
