Thanks for the info. I have not been able to talk the wife into one yet. I think I may end up going with the Albino Nelson if I can get her to come around to letting me get one because of their docile reputation. She has at least stopped saying no now. She is afraid of snakes or so she said last night. She does not mind them when I am holding them and will even touch them, so I think there is hope. My thought is that it may be best to get something that will not be skittish until she gets used to having snakes around. If I have something that does not mind being held she may come around and hold it then see how much fun they are to have as pets. I think having something skittish may cause her more fear, and I do not want her to become like my mom is with snakes. Does this sound like a good plan? I wished I could find some Albino Nelson in the Winston-Salem, NC area to expose her to them.
