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.

The Welcome Room & New Member Intros How about a place for new members to come on in, make an introduction, and meet the regulars? Talk about yourself or anything else that comes to mind, just to break the ice. Or just pull up a chair and make yourself at home for a spell. |

Actually I haven't. I still don't have snakes. Her view is still if you bring a snake in the house I am moving out. They would even be in a room with the door locked and she never hours in it. Been trying to work on the Kenyan sand boas because they are small. Nothing worked yet. Also talked about winning one in a giveaway and that wouldn't be considered buying one. I'd have to take one in a giveaway. RIGHT.

Goodness. Well pardon me then, buddy. By all means, carry on. Have you ever thought about garters, maybe? They have the whole social stigma of being completely harmless in a lot of circles. It's not the species sort you want ultimately, but you could maybe wean her onto garters and work from there.

Oh, I totally fell for the ressurected thread thing. xD Sorry to pick at old wounds, dude.
Maybe try a different herp first? How does she feel about lizards? I know lots of people who love bearded dragons because of their personality. Perhaps her getting used to a scale-baby that's lots of fun will make her realize not all critters are evil.

Thank you guys and gals so much. I am not upset. I do appreciate all the help I can get. I have beardies, Leo's, and cresteds. She just has this stigma that she is scared to death of a snake. She will not even look at their pictures on my phone cause she thinks she will have nightmares.
It's kind of rediculous.

Either she is one tough mom or your daughter just wasn't convincing enough. Now that she is older (your daughter I mean) maybe you can try again. Using kids against one another is every parents right isn't it.
Seriously though dude, if she hasn't softened in two years I think you are SOL. It may seem ridiculous to us but they are called phobias for a reason. They are irrational.
If you are not afraid of flying frying pans you could always get a legless lizard and try to get off on a technicality. Technically it is not a snake, it just looks like one.
Somehow I don't see it working though. Best of luck.

Or, you could show her all the expensive morphs and let her know how much money you can make by breeding Ball pythons. Tell her she can have half the profits for buying shoes. I've never known a woman who can resist shoes. By the time she realizes that she won't be getting any shoes because there won't be any profits in breeding ball pythons maybe she will have gotten over her fears enough to let you keep them.
Maybe.
And to all you women wanting to throw your shoes at me for the sexists remark it was just a joke.
Maybe.

Oooh! Fantastic idea! I hate shoes, but maybe she doesn't. And if she doesn't like shoes, well, there's always something she'll want the "glorious mounds of money" that come from breeding for. xD

If she has a caretaker's heart, find a snake that needs to be rescued. Even better if it's kinda a sad story.
Often, if it's viewed as "saving" the snake from a bad situation, the vantage point changed. Because really, is it still a "creepy, icky thing" if it's homeless, battered, and hungry??
I got one of my sorority sisters who routinely killed wild snakes with shovels to accept this "poor little starving corn snake that just needed someone to love him" without even a moments hesitation.
That corn snake is still with her today. And she still calls him, "my poor little unwanted baby"
