My sister-in-law, who has an irrational fear of snakes, took another step forward the other day. In the last few months it's been a really slow process getting her to at least admit snakes aren't evil lol. When she first started visiting, she refused to even be in the same room with them even with them in their homes. She wants to get over her fear, it's just been a really slow process as she's extremely afraid of them (her fear is the most extreme case I've ever seen).
But the other night when she came over, I had my little boa out and she started asking questions about her, something she's never done before. It took a long time for her to get enough bravery to even touch her. I had to keep my little boas head completely away from her (something I do anyway when people who are scared of them want to touch them) before she'd do it. After an extremely long time, she got up enough nerve to somewhat hold her. For her, it was a huge step and one that makes me proud of such a huge accomplishment.
She's still pretty scared of them, especially of my bigger animals. But hey....they are 'huge' in some people's opinions, although I'm like "meh...the burms are still little" lol. Still....this is a major step for her
Anyway, here's the one pic I managed to get of her with my little boa.
