Have a beautiful little friend that is ****e scared of snakes and I will be getting her brother one soon, so i talked her into actually holding some of mine, her thoughts were they were slimy, slippery animals that wanted to kill you at every chance

love the look on her face, the last shot with the BHP was sheer nerves and excitement in one, wat a beautiful smile

:) love her for doing this

started off small n worked up

thats the plan, i have another person lined up who said she is going to have a go at it, its amazing to see norm"" people actually walk away with a new found appreciation of them, i go through the handling and why peeps normally get bitten, I have 2 little jungles and a stimmie that are biters, showed her how to view the body stance etc really rewarding day
 
She looks a bit concerned with the baby albino looking at her.

Love the smile while holding the BHP. I wish more people were willing to give it a ago. They might end up surprising themselves.
 
haha the little albino has a real tendancy to towards the face lol

the smile i think was an OMG i did it hahahah
 
Great job. :) I can imagine a lot of time would have gone into that, but well worth the effort.

The majority of my family is afraid of snakes, but managed to get my sister to handle my bredli the other day (although I had to "keep the head away"). Working on it!
 
Absolutely magic to see!

Changing people’s attitudes is not readily done and there is little doubt in my mind that a hands-on experience is far and away the most effective technique. The transition from “What the hell am I doing?” to “Hey! Check this out... pretty awesome, eh?” is superb to see. I have little doubt she will pass on her experiences to others that have a negative attitude towards snakes and this may well make them rethink there current point of view.


Congratulations on a top effort with a terrific outcome. Really well done and thank you for sharing such a positive experience. It is very much appreciated.
