All my life I had a massive phobia with snakes, 6 months ago I freaked out when my 14yr old son walked in the house with a 6ft Australian coastal python around his neck, he tormented me for over 2 months, wanting me to touch/ nurse/ have it around my neck , he thought it was hilarious hearing me scream everyday he brought it out of it's cage, often he would sneak up behind me when I was doing the dishes or in the pantry, I would scream & almost pass out, it escaped from it cage I was petrified for 2 DAYS until it was found, which was hiding near my bedroom
:distress Anyway not long after I thought I would give reverse psychology a go, as still my son was getting a kick out of scaring the $#@T out of me. I finally worked up the courage to touch it, after a few days I was OK with holding it, now I love, appreciate & respect pythons.. our deadly snakes we have downunder, I don't mind them dying from the hoe!!!
