What do you do when your child suddenly becomes fascinated with snakes, reptiles, or other creatures that make you uncomfortable?

In this episode, I sit down with environmental educator and author Nancy Hopkins, better known as The Snake Lady, to discuss how parents can respond when their child's curiosity clashes with their own fears.

Nancy shares practical advice on introducing children to reptiles in a safe and educational way, explains why many adults develop a fear of snakes, and offers simple strategies for exploring a child's interest without immediately saying "no."

We'll also discuss her children's book, Sassy Green Tree Boa, and how storytelling can help both children and parents better understand these often-misunderstood animals.

Whether you're a parent facing this dilemma right now or simply interested in learning more about reptiles, this conversation may change the way you think about snakes.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• Why children are naturally curious about snakes
• How parents may unintentionally pass their fears on to their children
• Practical first steps before bringing a reptile into the home
• Educational resources and hands-on experiences for families
• How books can help children and parents learn together

Join us for an entertaining and informative conversation with The Snake Lady and discover how curiosity, education, and family exploration can sometimes turn fear into understanding.
