Anyone have a cure for Snake phobia!
My daughter in-law is so scared of snakes, that she actually cried when one came up on the porch last Summer. Unfortunately for her, I collect them (along with Tarantulas and Scorpions). She doesn't mind the Arachnids at all and even helps me feed and handle them, but simply refuses to hold a snake. She watches me handle the snakes and bathe them during difficult sheddings and seems to have become a bit interested. I tried to get her to hold a really sweet baby boa, but she still refuses. I feel that I could possibly change her mind, if I got one and told her it was all her's. Any suggestions on a really docile snake that can be easily handled without much fear of a bite? I have been thinking of the Eastern Hognose. I think she would get tickled with it's character.
Please let me know of any suggestions that I can use in helping her with her phobia and an interesting snake. Thanks!
