My wife is cool as long as I dont put them anywhere near her.
I can understand where some women (and men too) are terrified of snakes, and no amount of education is gonna change this.
Can you imagine if you were simply terrified of something that was not really a neccessity and your significant other wanted you to live with 20 or 50 or 100 of this thing? You would be like what? Are you crazy... This is how some people feel.
Maybe you can store your snakes in the basement, or another room in the house where she wont have to see them. Outta sight-right? Another thing, maybe you should show her how you lock them (use an empty rack) and that there is no way for them to get out. You can even use an extra bungee cord down the front to be extra safe and make her feel more secure about the whole thing. Also, there is really no reason she has to know how many snakes you really have? If she thinks its 8-10 and you really have 32, who is really gonna know but you?
Good luck.
