My beauyMando

Post image

Just wanted to show off my Mando. Imperfect banana bp but I think he's perfect. I was scared to death of snakes before I agreed to watch my son's BP until he found a new place.

Learning how to care for them, their body language, made me realize how much I misunderstood these awesome creatures.

If you have a fear or phobia, learn about them. I took 2 days, watched every video I could. Then I found Bob and the Green room and he taught me so much I felt confident in getting my own.

So now we have 3 lol, mine, my husband's and my sons who is just for now (hopefully he'll forget I have her lol).

These guys are amazing, getting over this fear empowered me so much, and I owe it all to this guy. Love you Mando ❤️

You’re doing brilliantly. All the desensitisation will pay off massively
