    The most common questions I get are:
    How big does it get?
    What does it eat?
    Won't it eat your other animals or hurt you?

    "Is it slimy?"

    Is what I get most often. I say no and offer to let them hold our female bp, who's super tolerant of just about everything except my roommate's little cousins, but they started to get a little rough when they wanted to start dancing with the snakies... And then normally they get really excited that holding a snake won't kill them immediately and that it isn't slimy.

    I'm a girl that likes reptiles, tattoos, tech, cars, and F1 races. Now if only I had more room in my house for computers and tanks, and a huge garage for cars and trucks...

    Some repeats, but here are the questions I always get...

    Do they bite?
    How big is your biggest?
    What do they eat? Then - Do you feel bad feeding them mice?
    Are they poisonous?
    Aren't you afraid they'll escape?
    Are they safe around your dog/cats?
    Didn't you hear about that baby who was killed by a python?
    And the most common & annoying question... Why do you have snakes?? You can't even cuddle with them!

    Oh yeah, I forgot one... "Is it happy in that little bin? Isn't that way too small for them?" And they'll be talking about a 5ft BP in a 41qt tub, which us snake people know is PLENTY of space.
