the whole tank thing above sounds great and if she does not come around after a week or two, buy a rubber snake and put in there and still be treating everything like it is real. not to scare her but just to show her that this is what it would be like. most people think a 2 lb. 3 foot snake can eat a 140 lb 5' 7" person. they just arnt use to snakes. sit down with her and see what her actual concerns are and then go and write down how you would over come these. she just might be impressed that you have taken the time to make her understand. my mom would not let me get a snake and then when i got married and the same thing - remember - wives are just like mothers so think seriously about getting married !!!! i know have a hugh collection of balls, i eat ice cream in the morning, i run around with sissors in my hands i stay up until 3 and sometimes wear the same pair of underwear 2 days in a row !!!! - just kidding about the underwear thing.
