[QUOTE="Dustproof, post: 2542916, member: 41856"] I have friends who won't come to the house, I don't care about that, they are still my friends and I will go see them (When lockdown finishes). I have had some of my friends want to get over their fear of Snakes and I believe I have helped them. Snakes do want to escape, our job is to not let them. We make sure their enclosure is escape proof as possible, we make sure it is as safe as possible for the animal as well. It is not likely that a snake will bite you whilst your sleeping, not unless it is a giant anoconda because snakes don't chew their food, they swallow whole. Snakes bread in captivity can be as gentle as any other pet or they might bite, it all depends on the temprement of the animal. I have a Jungle that is just over 2m long and as round as a tennis ball, I will not let anyone handle him because he is very likely to bite and do some damage. I also have several Anterasia's that are very laid back, I will allow my grand daughter to handle them because they are so gentle. I find it amazing that we live in a country that has some of the worlds most dangerous animals and we don't know how to identify them and how to stay safe, we always think to kill them which is the best way to be killed. Snakes don't go out of their way to bite anyone, they don't hunt people, it is people who try to damage them so they defend themselves. I think your partner will learn to like them after a while when he see how well you handle them and how they respond to you. As for friends who won't visit you, it is their loss. My friends have learned now that they are in enclosures and can't get out, they now enjoy looking at them but don't want me to get them out.... lol Lets face it, Snakes aren't eveyones idea of a pet and that is fine, eveyone has their likes and dislikes but for me I believe in facing your fears to make me stronger. I hate heights, so I learned to fly a plane...... that is me though. [/QUOTE]
