Anyone's hubby/wife irritated with our hobby?

Thankfully my wife is into it, and my brother in law has a collection of his own. Can't complain.

My fiancee has come around over the past few years and names most of snakes.. she has her own mojove "Morgan" to go with my butter"captin"...... but has been putting her foot down on a retic....... supprised here when I came home with a 9 foot carpet last weekend...... she is still nervous of her. Next is a super dwarf come April.

My husband was the one that wanted one. I didn't. Then we got him and within the last 2.5 years we've ended up sharing the responsibility. Snakey is one of our pets. Much like our cats. Minus the fur. But he's so cool. He's been my responsibility while my husband is deployed and I think that's also added to it. Get your hubby one for Christmas hehe.

I had one snake when I met my fiancé. He was okay with me having one snake, and eventually was good about holding him. When we moved in with each other, I got two more snakes. I was fine with the three snakes that I had. Mike was also fine. Then work went sour. I always talked about if I won the lotto, that I would breed snakes. Mike suggested that we start out small, and build a small collection to eventually breed. The collection went to 7 after that, for we saved money to purchase 4 new ones at a show. Now 3 years later, our collection is up to 17, and this is our first year trying to breed. I am lucky to have a supportive fiancé, that helps out with the care of the snakes, and will tease me that now most of the snakes are my fault. Trust me, there are several in the collection that are his fault too. *winks*

My boyfriend had never really been one for animals until we started dating. I've got a horde of them. One day I said you know, I really want a ball python some day - and he said well why don't you just get one then? SO, here I am with my Argus! He's never had or handled one before I think, but he's totally open to the idea and likes Argus, so I consider that a plus. He's open for more snakes, too, so that will probably happen!

I hear ya.. My husband is just getting used to it.. I went from having my two mojave's to 7 by the end of this month.. :) and i do NOT plan on stopping ;):D i love my babies!

She's my ex-wife now..... lol

My boyfriend hates that I have so many snakes....he says one or two is fine but more than that is a hassle. He complains because I am not making money off of having so many haha so our deal was I will buy him swords or knives for every snake I buy. He is happier with it but still hates that we have 4 rats, 2 monitors, 2 dogs and a cat on top of all my ball pythons. Our daughter loves them all though.

My girl friend is scared of them. I have a Kenyan sand boa. And about 8 others on order. She won't come near it when it's out. How do you work them in to it? I had sand man before I ment her. And that was almost 2 years ago . Our son loves him I can't open the cage or he screams
