An interesting thing happened yesterday. When I was looking through the forum, my mom walks in and asks, "Aren't those the nice snakes?" I replied, "Of course, they are the most captive bred species because of their friendly and docile nature." The fact that my mom seemed interested in the snake was surprising to me. I think she is willing to learn about them. Fear is only caused by the unknown and if my mom learns more I think she open up to the idea.
