It was really awesome, and it mirrors my thoughts on it. Who are we to judge the quality of an animal by whether it worships us or not?

Hey, if you found that source can you put link on so that we could see it? :)

that sounds like it'll be an interesting paper. good luck. :gj:

That will be interesting. If you are in college you will need real data to back it up, but if you are in high school, I believe that it would be acceptable to have us fill out a survey of questions you are looking for. First things that come to mind: education, job, criminal history (yes no question-may need to be PMed or it may be left unanswered, missing data isn't detrimental to research as long as it's not your main focus), age, marital status, and anything else you can think of that would paint a picture of people that own snakes. I did a pole on people's education a long time ago and I was amazed of all the educated people on this site (BA+). Snake people aren't a bunch of dumb dropouts, there are some highly educated respectable snake people. One of my very close friends, has a Ph D in mathematics and breeds some exceptional snakes!

I am a snake owner...and I understand what you mean about the stereotypes. Just because some people don't see the beauty in these creatures like we do...doesn't mean we're weird. haha I will admit that I am different than most people and I've just always been fascinated with snakes. Everyone likes different things. It sucks but the stereotypes will never go away because so many people are fearful of them.
