...and told the people at work that I have... snakes as pets.
"AAgagAgaaaagh!" (insert horribly loud and fake horror-movie scream here.)
For the most part, my "team" of 6 other people didn't really care much; though I may have fell a notch with my supervisor, who said that she never could bear feeding mice/rats to things. But she has a Beardie, so she can't be that reptiphobic; I purposely said this all while a certain coworker was not present, as I know she HATES snakes because of the whole "evil" aspect for smoe reason... but it feels pretty cool to have that secret off my chest at work.

Then people of course, started going round with positive stories about how their aunt had a boa; etc. So no, no one hates me for it; just sadly, no one shares my snakey pet-having, sigh. Although there are about 500 people that work for the company.. maybe I could put a sign in the breakroom: dial my extention if you like snakes! lol. Nah, I'll stick to BP.net.
