Whats the most common thing yyou get asked about your snakes?

Is it poisonous?
Won't it get like 20 feet?
Aren't you afriad its going to eat you in your sleep?
Why on earth would you keep a pet snake?
Won't it eat your dogs?
Won't it eat your cats?
Other.

Why didn't it post the poll?!

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.

you feed it RATS????

Does it bite?
Will it bite me?
Don't the mice you feed it gross you out?
How can you watch it murder mice?
... :/
lather, rinse, repeat.

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! :rolleyes:

how big will it get?
have u been bitten?
isnt it slimy?
wat do u feed it?
Doesnt it stink up ur room?
how big is it poops?
wont u need a huge cage for it eventually?

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. :cool:
