Re: I came out of the snake closet at work.
More people than I realized at my job know that I keep snakes. It amazes me when someone from the other office brings up my snakes to me in conversation and I'll say "how did you know I have snakes?" and the reply is usually "everyone knows you have snakes". This is a company of over 900 employees in Atlanta alone.
They don't always understand it, but I guess I'm known as "the snake lady" here at work.

I have a picture of my BRB as my wallpaper on my computer. I need to take a new pic of my BP to replace it.
Re: I came out of the snake closet at work.
I actually had three delivered to where I work. No one was going to be home, it was winter, so I said screw it, I would just get them here. I kept it low key, and only a few people actually saw them. Everyone here knows, and no one is surprised.
Re: I came out of the snake closet at work.
It is funny.. they do have that little weird expression.. but to varying degrees. My one friend at work asked me why I am not afraid of snakes.. I countered that she has a 2000-lb Hereford bull (they run a beef farm) and That would scare me! It could do a lot more harm than one of these little snakes could..
Re: I came out of the snake closet at work.
Wait.
You were scared to tell them you owned snakes?
:rolleye2:
Re: I came out of the snake closet at work.
I was a bit nervous at first but I was so excited about my snake I just couldn't keep it quiet. So, I took him for show and tell. There was way more interest and knowledge in the group than I had expecte. And, I found out one of my co-workers was a reptile lover. They had a red-tail when he was a kid. I kept asking him when he was getting a snake but he said he had enough with his other pets. But, the reptile expo came to town a few weeks ago and now he's got himself a baby blood!
I, too, have the desktop photos :D No shame!

Re: I came out of the snake closet at work.
yeah.....coming out of the snake closet was never hard for me.....as the closet door was never closed!!! 90 percent of the pictures i have, in my ZUNE,hpotographs, drawings,fremed photos,etc., are of snakes...the other 10 percent is of my family,friends,vacations,etc. i am also known as "the snake lady" by neighbors,coworkers, and friends.
Re: I came out of the snake closet at work.

I came out of the REPTILE closet at work, people were always like why do you always have scrapes on your arms and hands?

Re: I came out of the snake closet at work.
lol. I have a co-op student who sits in my cube (it has 4 desks in it) and I'm surprised I don't get asked more often about the animals I keep, since the co-op student usually changes once or twice a year.
I don't have any snakes or spiders up anywhere, since I don't want to freak out anybody that's phobic. However, I have a gecko calendar hanging up, a carved green stone frog on my desk and a small plastic tortoise, so it's rather obvious that I like reptiles. My manager asks me about my collection from time to time, he knows I keep a bunch of creepy crawlies.
