Now onto the point to the thread... I always love how people think they are going to kill my children. :rolleyes: C'mon folks. And no they're not free ranging. Sheesh. I also love it when large grown men squeal like frightened school children and won't step foot in my house. :devilish:

Umm... just so you know, to some people on the internet, "killing kittens" has a different meaning...

Which makes giving someone the actual TITLE kitten killer, very funny :P

well now that's just not right at all. :bolt:

um...pardon my ignorance but whats a kitten killer on the internet? (maybe this requires a PM)


best EVER was right after i got Monty my mom asked my....

"Can't u just feed it...snake pellets?"
to which my dad responded
"What u wanna go to the store and buy Purina Snake Chow?"

These questions are funny, but really, I think they are fair questions to people who have no idea what the answer is. When people ask me silly questions, I try to be helpful and answer them honestly or point them to the website I made up. I many seasoned herpers might think questions like these are obvious, but it's what you know and what you are used to.

For comparison, I had an Indian woman as a roommate for about a year (Indian as in India, yo). She came from a fairly well-to-do family in Bombay and had had pet dogs growing up. The idea of having pet cats digusted her (!), so she had lots of nervous and surprising questions when we started living together as I had cats. =)

She of course loves them now, especially since her now husband is a long time cat lover as well, hehe and they have several. ;)

i got a funny lil story


one day i had buttercup out ( 8.5 ft burm) and a friend of mine who knows nothing about any reptiles was with me. Well anyways she was out and crawling all over me as normal and she had wrapped the last bit of her tail around my ankle while she was crawing on my arms, (so she knew she was secure i assume) anywas the second she did this my friend started freaking out yelling that snake was trying to kill me, literaly yelling , i tryed to tell her what the snakew was doing and she was almost in tears and just freakign out... my b/f came running downstairs to see what was going on and looked at us, then looked at her and rolled his eyes and walked back upstairs

Hehe, little Carmen does that when we have her out - I call it "security tail". =) Very Charlie Brown-blankie...;)

"As long as my tail is wrapped around <insert body part>, I'm safe!"

I havent gotten any of those ****-ronculous questions but I have gotten asked

"why would you want a snake, you cant cuddle with it"
my response
"why would you want a bird or a hamster?"

The whole Christian thing is nutty...I'd ask those same people who throw the bible references about snakes at me the whole "isnt premarital sex off limits, and envy is a no-no, lusting after others....oh and dont forget about cursing as well. and my favorite....putting faith in false idols!" these are the types of things I would say to them, they shouldn't open there mouth and say something so ignorant if they themselves do not lead a model christian life. if i offend anyone i am sorry...just thought I'd get that on out there.

I have found there is more work in keeping a snake than in babysitting.
