Snake owners more males or females? Poll

also I know 5 guys who own snakes and 3 girls who own them. I know 6 or 7 girls who are afraid of snakes and 10 who have always wanted to own them. i know 5 or 6 males who are absolutely freaked by them 20 that are like "if you're holding it I'm cool, otherwise it's dead" and a dozen who want to own them.

Personally I think it all balances out to about even. Which would make it a cross gender deviation from the societal norm.

2 females here

I would most certainly hope not!

Female.

I thought it would interesting to how many males vs females were keepers, because I was shocked at how many were female when I first joined.

Oh, but couldn't vote on the poll, because I am on tapatalk. I wish you could see polls on tapatalk. :(

All of you people who are accidentally putting Female or Male because you thought the poll was about your Snakes should really read slower. ;)

Female here, and definitely a proud keeper of the Scaley kind. :D I have no Female friends that keep Reptiles, although I just recently converted one of my best friends to be a snake/Reptile lover! She came to stay at my house and absolutely fell in love with my little BP. :D

Female here, with 3 male and 6 female snakes.

Female, boyfriend and I got into snakes together.

I wish this was a public poll, I wanna know who all of the "others" are.

Female here, with 21 snakes
Hubby has 2 :P

I wish my hubby wanted snakes! He likes my baby BP but he would rather get a Beardie. (which I have no problem with ;) )

Female here and the snakes are mine, hubby is not that into them.

Female with snakes. Hubby would rather get rid of them all, he is NOT a snake person. :P

I HATE when people ask me what sex i am...

Always a tricky question when it replies on what day of the week it is :P


We are both female and have 20 snakes, various geckos, lizards and other reptiles. Pretty much as long as it needs a home we will take it in.

Female with two snakes. Started off as a half-joke on my part that I wanted a snake for a collective birthday-Christmas present (since my birthday's in March), but he really did buy me a Ball Python! Well, he took me to a show and let me pick her out myself. :) Shortly after that he fell just as much in love with snakes as I did and we got our BCI. He spoils them ROTTEN with amazing enclosures and plans to build custom enclosures for every other snake we get! (Although when I get into breeding I'm using racks when I can, haha. Don't want to clean a million tanks!)

I'm a female, 14 balls, 2 boas, 1 corn, 3 leos, 1 rat, 1 tortoise, 11 tarantulas :D

Male here with one ball and one carpet python.

Gosh dang it, I voted for the sex of my snake.

Female here. One ball python, two leopard geckos

Female. ;)

Male here thank you kindly lol

So what we've learned, scientifically, is that male snake owners are much less likely to answer a poll correctly? :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

...it's kind of cool, actually. There are still more crazy snake guys than girls, even with all the wrong answers. But it's surprisingly close. 40% of the answers are women so far?

I'd be super interested to know if it's just ball-pythons.net? Or if there are this many women on the other forums, too.

You know I think based on my browsing these BP sites there are more females. I think that is cool but unexpected.

There is a surprising number of others.

I'm an Other! If we're talking gender, I land in the middle (if we're talking sex, I'm the one who does the parasite-carrying), and my partner is a trans woman, so there, take that binarist poll! lol (I did actually really appreciate there being a third option even if it was meant as a joke). Out of the 6 friends I have that keep herps only 2 are male, and one got into it after I converted him. The other one only keeps frogs so I don't know if he even counts :P My partner isn't really a pet person, but she'll still hold the snakes for me while I clean their tubs and she's really sweet with them, not scared at all. Maybe I'll manage to convert her one day~

I can account for 6 female snake owners among me and my friends. I think balls may be dominated by males, but cornsnakes owners are almost certainly predominantly female now. All the guys I've met have been saying that corns are too girly.

I bet it really depends on snake species. No way would I keep a full sized Burmese or retic- I just don't have the strength to work with a monster snake. Even bps give me trouble when they're really huge. I'm a small girl- I like my snakes small. I had the most awful time trying to handle a 5.5 foot extremely aggressive kingsnake alone. I prefer garters, sand boas, corns, bps, and ratsnakes among other small species because they're all docile, bps being the most pleasant to handle. I have not yet had a Bp strike at me, and I like to handle mine to make sure that does not happen.

I'm female

No I'm female

I personally have 3 males and 5 females. But 6 are balls and 2 are boas.

I think it's good to have equal of both so you can have a good number if males to females when, if, you decide to pair them!


0.3 Normals (Coilette, Athena and Mary Jane)
1.0 Pastel (De Sol)
1.0 Spider (Zeus)
1.0 Mojave (Prometheus)

0.1 Brazilian Rainbow Boa (Stella)
0.1 BCI (Kiyoko)
