So me and my fiance recently brought a baby corn snake home. His mother immediately said "GET THAT THING OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW. IT'S POISONOUS, IT SLITHERS, IT HAS NO EMOTIONS. IT'S A SIGN OF SATAN, ITS LEAVING NOW!" And his mother's boyfriend said he is going to cut it in half with a shovel if it is not out of the house by today. His mom keeps saying she won't sleep because shes afraid its going to bite her and get out and grow to be like 6 feet under her fridge or something and destroy the house or kill her. They are both over-dramatacizing the whole thing. Keep in mind, this snake is not even 10 inches long. Both of them absolutely ADORE our 4 bearded dragons though. How could we go about making them realize that this little guy is the size of an earthworm, non-venomous, docile, and actually pretty cute and fun? It's not like we go shoving the snake in their faces. He stays in the room with us all the time. His mom thinks I'm a reptile expert with how much info I spit out about dragons geckoes turtles and others, but she will not listen to a word I say about snakes. Anyone else have this problem?
