I'd say dont have a hisssss-y fit and get over your fear. Its a silly reason to get rid of a potentially great guy.

I doubt I could be comfortable in a home with a huge snake either. he should know his choice of pet isn't for everyone and may one day come between him and a girl. how far is he willing to bend would be my next question
If anybody ever gave me this ultimatum with regard to my pets (I have birds), I would, without hesitation, choose my pets.

I've no doubts! And I can tell ya right now not too many people other than your hubby would put up with your birds! All of you Nazi non-smokers don't seem to realize what disgusting habits and pets you have!

I used to live in a zoo (literally; we're talking a good dozen or more, most of them repulsive; snakes included), but the birds were acquired after I left. Let's say I was shocked on my one visit after they moved in and God knows I was used to the pigsty.

Wel, yeah, they can be messy. I have a pressure washer I clean the cage with once a week, and I change out the newspaper at the bottom daily. Also, they are in one of the garages. We converted it into a climate controlled "bird room". My house is always clean, and when I bring these guys in to hang out with us, I cover my sofa and surrounding floor with old sheets I no longer use.

not many people dislike birds. they are "pet like" they sing and do silly things. again a snake just sits there and needs to eat live mice. many ladies might not mind the snake this one does. I too would pick my pet over a man, but then I have cuddly pets.

You should've seen the zoo I was talking about. Ironically, there were 2 types of mice - some were pets and some were snake food! The hypocrisy of it all! There's nothing more appetizing than looking at a mouse defrosting in your kitchen sink and the snake and the tarantulas on your kitchen counters! The fond memories...
