I used to take my snakes to my grandson's birthday parties and often found that the kids were not scared at all but their mums were. Quite often the mums would watch the kids handling the snakes without fear and their curiosity would win over and eventually they'd come over and ask to hold one. I had one lady that was terrified at first, she watched the kids from a distance but gradually got closer. She eventually asked if she could hold one, I gave her a Royal Python to nurse, by the end of that afternoon she had completely fallen in love with my 6' female boa. The joke was that her partner had always wanted a boa and she'd refused to let him, now she had to go home and admit to holding the snake as all her friends had taken photos of her to show him.
