No Snake Lovers

[bump73]

Well Erin_Jane WAS doing okay with my bredli Strangles, even managed to hold her for a second or two, but then she moved too quick when strangles was on the computer and Strangles went for her face not really funny....well maybe a bit...

Now i think she is more scared than when i first got her....actually i know she is but i'm still hoping she'll come around..

I have to say, as Ben mentioned, that I'm no longer just scared of Strangles (ben's snake) , I'm absolutely terrified & seeing her slithering towards Ben's face (let alone my own!!) brings me so close to tears it's not funny.

I thought it was something I wanted to overcome but now I don't want to see it out of the enclosure at all.

So I guess my thoughts are that if she doesn't like snakes, don't push her into having any interaction with it unless it's on her own terms and if she doesn't want you to get one in the first place (sorry, I should have concentrated more when I was reading the thread, don't know if you actually have a snake already), then you really should respect that and take it into consideration before before getting the snake (unless of course you have one already which makes what I'm saying slightly redundant!)

If I had a say in the matter Ben wouldn't have the snake... give me bunny rabbits & dragons any day!!

My housemate is scared shitless by snakes

Like freezes everytime I get the python out until he realises its not going to get him,

What do I do??

Well I'm getting my second snake this weekend muahahah

[dude_joel]

maybe you need a bigger snake, would she fit inside a scrubby?

[wood_nymph]

just claim a room or the garage as your room and put him in there that way she doesn't even have to see it. my hubby wasn't keen untill i got him to hold one and he was hooked line and sinker. he recently had a cry because i was talking about moving my reps out of the living room and into my study lol

If she has said "It goes or I do" then she should go! It's meant to be a partnership not a dictatorship, JMO. I don't have that problem, we are all hooked but my daughter does like our beardie Spyro the best.

DP used to hate my snake when we first started seeing each other now he is addictted as i am lol

Give her time and she should get used to them

[Erin_Jane]

Ok, well I had the worst nightmares after this thread last night. Dreamt I found a beardie behind the bed which was great, but then went to check if mine had escaped and Ben's bredli struck at my face again. Then I went back into the bedroom to ask Ben if I could put this new beardie into another enclosure he had on his lap and he smiled and showed me the massive jungle python he had in there... I freaked out, and told him it was over & I was moving out... Then I stormed out the front, had a weird encounter with a girl I've never met... But that's another story entirely!!

So Ben... if you're even CONSIDERING getting another snake... It's me or the snake... but this time I mean it!!

[snakecharma]

hmmmm i have had a few that didnt like the whole snake thing

luckily for me none of them have stuck the distance (for other reasons of co**** lol) so now i just have to worry about what my dogs think lol and they more amazed at the snakes than i am hehehehe

[mini_kitty]

Tell her you'll get rid of it if she gets rid of her shopping habbit / brand name sunnies / romantic soppy movies and songs / hairdresser / *insert other random girly habit here* and so on.... it might not go down well but it'll get the point across!! hahahaha.

[Erin_Jane]

Does nobody on here understand how terrifying snakes can be?????

[Possum]

I can understand your fear of snakes, I have a bush background and although I would never harm one intentionally and I understand there lot in life I do not like them. My husband had a Diamond python once and she definitely did not like me either, she would try and strike me whenever she was out even if he was holding her.

I am a lizard loving person, they are gorgeous!

[Erin_Jane]

Finally, someone who understands!!

I would never ever harm one and I still think they are amazing creatures but they scare the crap out of me and I just don't understand this lack of respect for that?

As for lizards... they have legs & I love them
