    Who can actually name your snakes and their genetics?

    I have 0 friends that can actually name the breeds, sexes, names, and genetics of my snakes. I don't blame them, it is my hobby and not theirs.

    Just curious what other's experiences have been... this could include the people in your house as well. It took me close to a year, but Jerome finally knows that names, sexes, and genetics of all my snakes. Ages... not so much, and a grasp of what those genetics mean (NOT A CHANCE!)

    Re: Who can actually name your snakes and their genetics?

    My family is as interested in my snakes as I am, so, yes, they know the names of all of them, their sexes, genetics and breeds. We do have two, where we are uncertain about sex, because subcaudal scale count is borderline.

    Re: Who can actually name your snakes and their genetics?

    My hubby and my oldest son can tell me what type of snakes we currently have and its name. When my two younger children (2 years old and 4 months old) can, they will also know the type of snakes, names and gender. My two year old knows that they are snakes, does that count?

    Re: Who can actually name your snakes and their genetics?

    I'm pretty sure that Joanna can name all my snakes and their genetics, as well as a handful of other members here (probably you as well! )

    Does that mean I talk about them entirely too much?

    I have 0 friends that know all of that but I have one or two that know what species. They don't know age, gender, or genetics of our snakes.

    I said 21+. Being involved with the local herp society helps with that.

    my husband and best friend know what kind of snake we have.. otherwise very few people in our family even know we have snakes, it just doesnt come up in convo when you have people deathly afraid of them.

    Re: Who can actually name your snakes and their genetics?

    None not even my hubby!

    The most my hubby knows is that I have some BP and some other snakes that are different (Colubrids), beside that a snake is a snake

    And when we go to a reptile show the only thing he pays attention to is the table with the crickets
