um...

LOTS of people don't like snakes, they're certainly not for everyone. That's one of the great things about owning them, it's something different. Fortunately, my missus LOVES my snakes. And my kids.... well my snakes ARE my kids, stuff having the real thing.

If your missus really hated your snake you probably wouldn't have any kids.

Get a new missus??

JOKE - I will not be held responsible for your marital issues

Ummmm, well my missus HATED ALL reptiles - and now she loves them!! It's a bit of the "fear of the unknown" I guess... she'll learn to love em once she gets to know about em.

If she's not totally phobic, at least you have a chance. (After all, you managed to get a snake and stay married.) Just don't force her to handle, clean or feed it. If you can keep the kids enthusiastic and teach them about snakes, she'll learn along the way and may eventually learn to accept it better. My parents HATE snakes, but have to accept them when they come to visit our house. They just try not to shudder when the kids play with their Antaresia.

I have a friend that hates our reptiles and now refuses to come to the house if I have any here. But then again I don't like her very much so maybe it's a blessing in disguise...

My missus was going to leave me when I got the first snake. She is OK with them now. She has threatened to definitely go if I ever get a ven, so maybe that is worth a try!!
