Ok, so every one pretty much knows how scared I am of snakes! I dont mind watching them on TV or even seeing them in a zoo. But the moment it is just roaming around in front of me I absolutely freak out.
I hyper ventilate, my heart races and tears instantly appear.
Yesterday Little One (LO) and wiggles went on a major lizard / snake hunt and they found a Bombay earth snake. Who ever said you dont have snakes in Kodai was obviously lying.
So when the found it and kept it in a box I was on pins and needles and if any one got it near me I jumped onto a chair. Dreads, Hoops, Wiggles and even LO were like its a harmless snake and almost like a big earth worm and I should hold it and get over my fear.
Today after dinner, the kids from Hoops dorm came into to see the snake and I decided it was time to get over this fear. I stuck my hand out and held on to hoops shoulder while wiggles gently lowered the snake (named bob) onto my hand. (note: the picture is not of me holding the snake but it is Bob)
I kept my eyes averted and tried slowing down my intense breathing (with no avail) while bob laid camly on my hand. He remained there for a few seconds.
But I DID IT!
I touched a snake.
Maybe I will get over this fear.
I am so proud :)
