    We Are Also Afraid Of Snakes

    Font - I have a pet boa constrictor. I know a lot of people are afraid of snakes, especially large ones, so I always warn friends before they come over. Most of my friends don't mind, a couple of them have just asked that I don't let the snake out while they're visiting or will stay in another room if someone wants to meet the snake. My friend Cassie is so afraid that she won't come over at all, it freaks her out just knowing that there's a big snake in the apartment. Fair enough, I'd probably r

    We didn't mention it before, but the thought of having a giant snake that could literally devour us at a party sounds like a horrible idea. That being said, if this was one of our friends, and they promised to keep the pet contained, who are we to judge? Some people are dog people, some people are cat people, and inexplicably, some people are snake people.

    What Do We Think?

    Font - Cassie said that if the snake was going to be in my apartment, then she wasn't going to be able to come to the party. I asked everyone if they were sure the party needed to be at my place, and everyone said yes. So I told Cassie that I was sorry and I'd miss having her there but I understood if she didn't want to come. She didn't say anything to me, but she texted a couple of other members of the group complaining that I was choosing the snake over her company. These friends have reached

    After all this, we have a hard time calling OP the AH here. It sounds like they tried their best to accommodate everyone, and the only one with any issue about the snake is also the only one running around talking about it. Well, until OP made this Reddit post. Then they also were talking about the situation, but that's different.

    Why Doesn't Cassie Just Host?

    Font - winsomebunny. 6 days ago Asshole Aficionado [13] ΝΤΑ I would have said N A H but Cassie complained to your friends instead of asking them to move the party. I have a rabbit and the only thing that would get me to move him from his home is his safety. Your friends should offer another home to host instead of putting pressure on you to do something that isn't best for your pet. You're responsible for your snake and are doing the right thing. 1.7k Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow

    Or One Of The Others

    Rectangle - 91 mdthomas 6 days ago Commander in Cheeks [248] If it's that big of a deal to the other friends, they can host the party at their place. ΝΤΑ 677 Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow

    Sneaky Slithery Snakes

    Font - PARI MacaroonHead5187 6 days ago Partassipant [4] NTA. You have a snake and it need a very particular environment there is no way you can just move it. If everyone is giving you trouble then I would the text a group text with, 'Due to Cassie and her fears of snakes we can not have it at my place. Please inform me of where else we will meet' 498 Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow

    We Never Knew This!

    Font - LazuliArtz 6 days ago I think people don't always understand how particular snakes are about their environment. They need to be at a specific temperature (often specific varying temperatures across the enclosure) with a specific humidity, and a specific uv level, and every species has its own requirements for these factors. It's possible to move a snake to a different location. It's just stressful for the snake when it's unnecessary. Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow 25

    We Second The Therapy Idea

    Font - poeadam 6 days ago Commander in Cheeks [201] ΝΤΑ It is a perfectly reasonable accommodation to have the snake locked up and in a room with the door closed. If Cassie can't deal with that then the solution is therapy, not you shipping your snake out for the day. Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow 272

    Maybe OP's Friends Needs To Read This

    Font - Kindly Reward_8537 6 days ago Asshole Aficionado [15] ΝΤΑ Your snake lives there, your friends do not. If you friends want to be at your house, and have a party there, they have to be considerate of the people/animals that live there. I'm sorry for your friends phobia, but she either has to see a therapist to help her try and overcome it, or accept that she will miss out on certain things because of it. 209 Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow

    Exactly This!

    Font - KateLady 6 days ago Partassipant [2] NTA. You're not excluding her. She was invited and she was the one who said she wouldn't be coming. 75 Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow

    She Sounds Like A Pain

    Font - JeepersCreepers74 6 days ago Judge, Jury, and Excretioner [363] she texted a couple of other members of the group complaining that I was choosing the snake over her company Uh.... yeah, Cassie. As with all posts where someone demands access to your event but also demands that you make all sorts of inconvenient and unnecessary changes to accommodate their personal preferences, NTA.
