Got called a reptile freak today

So today I was talking to someone about animals and I said that I kept snakes his immediate response was "Oh ur a reptile freak!" to which I sit and think to myself "Hmm I never thought of it that way". So I say to him proudly "yes I am a reptile freak!" Anyone had a similar experience?

I just get called crazy snake lady lol

No, but people do know me as the snake and bug guy around here. It seems intimidate a lot of people around here, so no one bothers to say anything to my face. I did have a lady call the cops on my wife and I one time when we were selling some baby corns to a guy in the empty Wal-Mart parking lot. She told the cops we had "dangerous reptiles". The cop pulled up with lights blaring and when we showed him the deli cups with hatchling corns he instantly started laughing at the lady's stupidity.

My wife on the other hand is known as the crazy rat lady because she always has a rat in her pocket or on her shoulder. The drive-thrus around here know us pretty well because we go through often with our rats and order them kid sized ice cream cones and other treats. It is always great meeting a new hire in the drive-thru window because they always spaz out when our one rat, Irwin, takes the dollar in his mouth, walks down my arm, pays for his ice cream and brings his treat back.

my brothers call me a zoo keeper or steve irwin

I'll try to remember to bring my camera next time we go to town. :gj:

I get called a freak all the time! I am known as the snake lady and I love it!

We, we are just different LOL Yes we are nothing wrong with that, I too am a Reptile freak or WORSE a Snake freak ...They ask are they poisonous??

No, no, they are not Venemous.:rofl:

A couple of people at work said they needed to hold an intervention after I purchased my 4th reptile, so I quit telling them about new acquisitions. And when one of them tells a newbie about my "giant" collection (based on hearing about a small portion of my pets) and that person instantly asks if I have snakes in a worrisome tone, I always just ask them if that's a problem and that throws them off guard
Oh and my other half's friends say I have a reptile farm, which I don't like that term.
