Boyfriend's Mother is a snake fanatic!! HELP!!!

Ok... *deep breath*

So I've got a really great boyfriend who I've been with for the last three months.

He's got us tickets to a comedy show in his hometown where he intends to introduce me to his dear mother. All fine.

EXCEPT his mother is a really serious snake breeder/enthusiast!! And I will be required to spend the night at her snake-riddled house!

AND most (20+) of the snakes are kept in the room I will be sleeping in (boyfriends old bedroom)!!!!

I CANNOT SLEEP IN A ROOM FULL OF SNAKES!!!

I don't know what to do. It would be rude to not go especially since he's splashed out on the tickets.

I also don't want he and his mother to think I'm a neurotic twerp (which I am)...

But really, as if meeting the dragon for the first time wasn't scary enough to start with?

Please help. And be thankful you aren't me.

Really just tell your boyfriend that u have a bit of a phobia and that you would rather sleep on the sofa or something, they might set u up in a different room. Its no biggie, she wont think you are neurotic over just this one thing dont worry. They would rather you be comfortable if your bf is decent he'l understand.

Set them on fire.

It's kind of impossible! There are 80 snakes in the whole house so they're everywhere!!!

Jesus Christ wtf. That's an absolute nightmare. I'm just trying to imagine it with invertebrates to terrify myself even more.

Might just have to suck it up as desensitisation training. Nobody knows the future but you may end up having to embrace the snake long term at some point.
