Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

She'll never know it's there.
It's more afraid of her than she is of it.
She can hurt it way worse than it could ever hurt her.
It's real pretty.
You won't be living there long-before she knows you will be gone.

Afraid
My wife was deathly afraid of dogs.
Any dog, no matter what size.
She had been attacked as a child (still has the scar) - nothing serious, but it left an impression.
A couple of years ago I fell in love with a Pekingnese, we were away on vacation and it broke my heart to walk away from the little guy.
Long story short I ended up flying back down to Florida to pick the little fella up and he is HER baby now. She loves him to death, and has no problem with bigger breeds (my borther has two labs).
I am picking up my first ball tmrw. (lemon NERD line female). She wasn't thrilled, but my nephew has two baby balls and brought them over and she actually handled them.
My advice would be to take it slow. Don't try and sneak it in - that will only cause problems eventually. Show her that your cage is secure. Give her information about the breed - ie: docile, non-venomous (some people think all snakes are poisonous). Expose her to the animal slowly, let her get a level of comfort.
Just my two cents.

My mom had the same problem when I got my ball. At first it had to stay at my friends place, after alot of serious talk I assured her that he couldn't get out, he would be kept out of her cite, and for her reassurance I would put a lock on my cage. Just sit down and have a conversation and assure her your going to be responsible and if you have to take extra steps to convince her ( like my lock)
