When I was a kid I was terrified of snakes. I had a hard time even even touching photos of snakes. Didn’t matter if it was a tiny little garter snake or a copperhead I came across in the woods, they all terrified me. The thing that changed my mind is when I was a teen I babysat a little boy. He had a pet ball python. At first I couldn’t even be in the same room with the snake because it scared me so much, but over time I was able to get closer and closer. And kept I seeing this 7-year-old little boy confidently pick up this large-ish snake, walk around the house with him, watch tv with him, do his homework with the snake hanging out on the couch, etc and it was so obvious how harmless this snake was. That it wasn’t this vicious monster just looking for an excuse to rip you apart. When I got brave enough to hold Bob, I felt so proud of myself. And after that I started learning a lot more about snakes, especially local species and which ones were harmless to humans and which ones to steer clear of. I’ve never owned one, but ball pythons will always hold a special place in my heart for getting me over my phobia.

If your looking into getting a snake I would definetly recommend a ball python I have one and I’m 11 I have no problem taking care of it but if your looking for a tiny one you can maybe get a spotted python he has some videos on them

When I was around 8 I was swimming with my little sister (she was 6 at the time) at a swimming hole near our house. We were having a great time until she went to jump off of a rock and 2 black snakes literally attacked her and then went flying off the rock with her when she jumped. I typically don't like using the term "attack" when it comes to animals, but that's exactly what happened. Had they just bit her and backed up, that would be one thing, but they actually came after her. It's still the scariest thing either of us have ever experienced. It took me a very long time to get over my fear of snakes after that. After learning so much about them, though, that fear just kind of went away, and now I absolutely love them. My sister however, can't even talk about about snakes still, and I can't blame her after what happened to her. Just watching it happen was horrifying enough. It is permanently burnt into my memory, so I know it was a lot worse for her. I would actually love to have a pet snake now, but my partner is also terrified of them, and my sister wouldn't come over to my house anymore, and she's far more important to me than some potential pet snake, lol. So, I leave them in the wild, and appreciate them as they are meant to be. I do have some that live in my back yard, though, that I've grown very fond of. I've even named them. My husband has no idea how many are actually back there, and unless he discovers them on his own, he never will know. He'd probably want to move if he ever found out, lol.

I definitely agree on the 'handleability' of the BTS - I have a *wild* Eastern BTS in my garden (I live in central Victoria, Australia), and despite still being entirely 'free range' (his home is in a tunnel under my driveway, and he still wanders off to hunt or whatever whenever he wants), he is also pretty much tame! I leave some food scraps out on occasion, and I can pick him up and hold him easily, without fear of being bitten at all (Easterns are definitely the best in that regard, just generally being more 'chill' than, say, northerns). He likes to sit on my shoulders and just watch the world go by. And the 'gold standard' of tameness - He'll go to sleep with me right there! For a "wild" animal, letting its guard down like that is a BIG deal! ~JD

Beardies can be skittish as babies but they’re great once they get comfortable with you. My little guy was very scared at first and would head bob and puff his beard but now after about a month of owning him he willingly crawls up my arm out of his enclosure and hangs out with me. He’s very inquisitive and fun to watch and even though he’s usually chill he’s pretty wild when he’s feeling energetic. I love to let him run around my room and explore. I also think they’re a great size. They’re impressive when they’re fully grown but not intimidating.

When I was 12 at scout camp I was one of the only ones to hold the 5 and 6 feet Bull snakes and Rat snakes. Some of my favorite snakes.

Kenyan sand boas would be great for this as well. They are like a mix of a hognose snake, and a royal python with none of the drawbacks with handling. The only bad part is that they are burrowing and nocturnal so you don’t see them out much during the day.

You hold a Ball python, a Boa holds you. I had to take a ride to the bank and stop for coffee but my Boa had just come out of her enclosure. She wrapped around my arm and enjoyed the ride, watching the world go by. The guy at the Tim Hortons drive thru was like "you take your snake out for coffee?". He thought the snake was the coolest thing. My 15 yr old son was with me in case the snake got scared or freaked out. She was great and seemed to enjoy all the sights and smells. I was at petsmart, a lady was buying a leopard gecko. That little thing was acting like a Nile monitor hissing and biting the petsmart guy as he boxed it up. Bearded dragons enjoy sitting on you but can get spooked and turn into a psycho quick. My best animal for handling and being totally chill is my Savanah monitor. I raised him from a tiny baby, he's 5 yrs old and huge now. He doesn't fit the monitor stereotype. He thinks he's a human child. Just the coolest big lizard. But he don't like car rides.
